One thing I noticed was that when I manually pulled the throttle cable and letting it snap back down sometimes it wouldnÆt go to the stop. So I let abit of pre load off of it by adjusting the little nut/ slider plate thing that holds the throttle cable to the throttle body.


That could well be part (all?) of the problem. There should be a slight bit of "freeplay" in the cable at idle.


I want to add just a bit on adjusting the throttle cable:

The one thing that you want to avoid at all cost is to have the cable too tight. When the pedal is pushed to the floor, you need to be certain that you aren't "against the stop" on the throttle body.

Loosen the adjusting bolt, have a helper put the pedal to the floor. Under the hood, by hand, push the TB all the way open. Snug up the cable, and tighten the bolt.

If you don't make sure there is a bit of play at wide open throttle, you will eventually snap the accelerator cable, or worse, damage the throttle body.

C/YA!
