i looked at it but i couldnt see for ****. it was dark as hell outside. what did you have to do to the tb to get it to calm back down?

there is an adjustment screw on the cable....i think its right around 6" from the the TB

alright. im gonna have to go look at it when my bed gets here, i just hope my car didnt get towed from the spot i pushed it to. i left a not but parking enforcement here sucks donkey dick

i know how that goes...when i lived in WC i got a parking ticket for parking out front of my old apt. b/c i didn't have a pass.

yea its the most annoying **** ever...i still didnt get a chance to go down there. i've been waiting for 4 hours for my bed to get here. im frustrated right now

does anyone have a picture of said adjustment screw? i cannot find anything. also, the little black box that the throttle cable runs too/from, are the half wheels in there supposed to turn freely or stop after about a quarter turn? i have 24hrs to move the car and i dunno if its too low to get towed or not. :help:

my bad...you can adjust it from the nut on the TB spring that holds the cable

so i jus went and checked it out. somewhere in the maze that is the throttle cable, its losing tension which is not allowing the cable to come fully taut and making it rev. im not sure exactly where this is happening or what happened to make it do that, seems like its caught somewhere or there is a kink in the line thats causing it but i need my car to be running by friday so this is kinda urgent. anyone that can come to west chester to help would be compensated. i still have to push it two blocks to my house before it gets towed tomorrow.

what time...i get off work at about 8 in the morning...i work 3rd shift

any day of the week either after 2 or 3. tuesday thursday after 2, wed after 3.

If I didn't blow out my knee I would come out and help ya man. But I'm f*cked as it is.

i'm sleeping at that time

get scolis's lazy ass to help you (hatchsurfer3) i don't think he's doing anything at that time

if you wanna come right after work, thats cool i'll jus get my ass outta bed. i dont have to be to class till 1230. jus lemme know if you feel like helpin. otherwise i gotta get it to a shop asap.

okay so after some investigating, it seems as tho somehow the throttle cable has slack in it. the little black box to the left of the throttle body that has three different cables in it, all have slack in them. now, the cylindrical thing right next to the battery also has a cable going to it that controls the cables in that black box. when i press the cable in the cylinder inwards ( <---- ) it creates tension in the cables in the box. i also took the tb elbow off and it looks like the throttle plate may not be closing all the way but i couldnt tell because the lighting sucks behind my house. i know that was a bunch of rambling with no specific parts names but thats all i got. if anyone has absolutely any clue how to restore tension to the throttle cables, im sure my problem will be fixed. another note, when i got under the dash and looked at the gas pedal, the cable and ball that the pedal controls was sticking out about 2.5 inches or so and not bringing the pedal back to zero, so to say. if this makes sense to anyone, please help. im stuck on what to do.

pm paledsm he'll tell you what to do. i have no clue. You could even just give JNZ a call. They are all good guys, always willing to help

thanks man. it seems so simple yet i dunno how the hell to fix it.

okay, so i fixed one problem but another one has come to my attention. i fixed the cable that controls the throttle plate so thats not open anymore. but my gas pedal and the cable that runs from the engine bay to the pedal is stuck on something and wont let me use the gas pedal. when i try to push the gas pedal down, it goes as far as the cable will let it and then just stops and wont go any further. i cant figure out where that cable goes to or how to get it un-stuck. so if anyone can shed any light on the situation i'd be greatly appreciated. i need to be able to drive my car. thanks guys

ok i give up. if anyone wants to help me get the car towed to a shop, please let me know. im too frustrated

my buddy can tow it for you...he has a car trailer. i rec. jnz tuning for anything dsm. they are very reasonable with pricing and all around good guys. i'll pm you his #. he is very reasonable...he'll probably hook you up w/ a good deal
