Stuck Throttle

I went muddin the other day and on the last little run before I hit pavement again I decided to lay it WFO (10-15 seconds worth) but at the end the throttle seemed stuck and no amount of pumping the pedal seemed to fix this, the pedal seemed to move freely but the engine just kept on chugging at about 4500 rpms and I finally had to throw the key to kill it this has happened twice before and I checked the cable and it seems to be free of binds and lubricated and I shot down all the linkages with WD any ideas?

It could be the high idle linkage. If the linkage has some slop in it, it is possible for it to kick on the high idle.

After you killed it with the key, everything went back to normal by itself? Ice, maybe? Just a little shot in the dark, there.
