I'm having problems with my throttle cable sticking, throttle ot returning to idle position.....I have a Weiand manifold which seems to place the cable bracket higher than the stock location, anr I'm thinking thats causing the binding of the cable........anyone else have this problem ?? any ideas or former posts to look at ?????

 

Sticking throttle cable is one of most deadly experiences. It happen to me, after spraying the throttle valves with carb cleaner. man. I was at a stop, and I punched it full throttle and it went still 24 mph where I let off, but before i knew it I was 65 mph in a 25 zone. I hit it in neutral, redlined the engine, turned the engine off, and slammed the 4 disc brakes. Boy i took it home and rebuilt the throttle body. lubed the cable with graphite. crazy

 

man what a story. My pedal started to become hard when i press it sometimes and I thought tehre was something wrong with the engine. Then I relaized it also happens when the car is off. should i grease up the line?? how do you do it???

 

Honestly, If wasnt so cheap, I'd replace it. But I cant drive for another 8 months anyways, damn speeding tickets on open range. loving the desert in cali. But yeah, i'd replace it with good quality cable with teflon coated internally.
