i was driving around yesterday - when all of a sudden my engine reved up extreme - i shut down and pulled to the side of the road - i figured my throttle cable snapped or my return spring popped off.
so i looked under the hood and all looked ok and then i pulled up the carpet to see what was going on near my gas peddle but all looked ok. drove home about 5 miles after gettting a push to get started - different problem - al the way in 3rd gear, shutting engine down when i hit 60mph, made it thru several tricky intersections - finnaly stalled out two houses from mine because my neighbors where chatting in the street blocking my path home. two problems - the lever on my TB - several times - returned from full open to about 1/4 open - got stuck there? kink in throttle cable somewhere it think? cable are not twisted in center console. and it seems no matter what spring in put on my throttle body - it does not seem to pull it closed fully. can it be just gummed up?

one note for all - when you push a new throttle cable thru the tube thru the center console - there is a good chance it will have wrapped itself once around the clutch cable - you much ensure it is not wrapped around the clutch cable before you connect it to the throttle bell crank. in fact it is best to untangle before you attach the forward end fittings onto the cables threaded end, look down the center concsole thru the front access hole with a mirror and flash light. if you don't ensure it is not tangled - when you step on the clutch you rpm's will rev - not good ; )
