Funny you say this because this has been my "quick fix" for this until I replace some guts. Unfortunately, it did not work for me this weekend. On start, the engine instantly revved and idled at 2500. AFter about 3-5 seconds, it would drop to about 1500 and rev right back up to 2500 again. Rinse and repeat a few times. Typical rev on startup, but it has never revved so high. I pumped the accel once up to about 3k, which usually kicks it in to acting normal, but strangely enough, it stayed at 3k. I hopped out real fast and look under the hood to see if the throttle cable was sticking, but the throttle body and cable were fine. I gave the TB a rev by hand and it still continued at 3k. Hated to do it, but I let it stay there for a few more revs before it finally gave in and stalled. I didn't want to hot cut the ignition. I turned it back on about 10 minutes later and it was fine. Turned right over too.
Needless to say, she stayed in the garage all weekend. I don't need to wear this problem thicker than it already is. I have enough parts on my "to do" list already.![]()
