Throttle cable options tpi
I can't seem to find anywhere that stocks the tpi throttle cable (pre 89 style) What is everyone doing? Any options? I want new old stock ideally.
The throttle body seems to be sticking slightly, only when the engine is running- its not the bores or flaps as its a rebuilt one. Strangely lubing it made it worse (I also lubed the cable in the car and under the hood).
Thanks

Re: Throttle cable options tpi
What makes you think it's cable itself and not the throttle body? Have you tried disconnecting the cable to see if it still sticks?
I ordered a cable online when I swapped throttle bodies to an earlier style (85-88).

Re: Throttle cable options tpi
Thanks guys. Not 100% what it is but read lots about people having the same issue- almost like vacuum when warm prevents it.
I just got me a 2nd return spring and she closes fine now.
Fred, if you fancy selling me one of those cables please do PM me.
