<VV> Could have been Unintended acceleration (back to Corvair)

[J R Read_HML]

I had an instance (Corvair), near the end of a long highway run, where the 
RPMs did not want to come fully back to idle.  The Rs were around 1700 - 2 
grand even after snapping the throttle pedal a couple of times.  It turned 
out that the fan bearing had walked upward and the center portion which does 
not spin was preventing the throttle cross shaft from closing fully.
