Neil,
     That will work. Another thought is to mount a solenoid on the=20
throttle body and wire it to a switch. When the solenoid is on the=20
throttle is blocked so that it won't open very far. Turn the switch off=20
and the car runs normally. Hide the switch someplace that is easy to get=20
to but hard to find. What about something like this? It would also be=20
pretty inexpensive.
Thanks,
rich!
