RE: Throttle is Sticking on Disco II
So far there has been no pressure from the wife to sell it Mike. I think she has the love/hate thing going on too!! LOL. as long as we can maintain the love part I may be able to retain ownership, especially if it proves it self a bit more reliable here as we go.
Back to the subject matter of this thread. My Throttle plate was gummed up pretty bad recently,and was sticking to the point that after you built up cable tension and it let go, it would rev to about 2200 while sitting in park. It would only stick that bad if you backed off the throttle real snappy and the plate "banged" home.This is why I'm still banking on the gummed up throttle plate and hoping the original symptom was slightly exaggerated.
I hope we get the results soon. I like to eat lunch at those places with the cloth napkins.

Before wagering breaks out in Vegas or vast quantities of free food are demanded, I will perform said inspection in the AM and post the results. If this works, there is BBQ in itfor the winner, heck the loser too, just have to come to sunny San Antonio to collect
BTW, this isn't my regular daily vehicle. I prefer 2 wheels when possible, which is almost every day here. Have to admit I'vesemi-noticed it for a while, but combine laziness with not needing it daily and that might be how it became this bad.
Thanks to all for the suggestions and I will post the verdict tomorrow.
