Lol I'm here. I'm at work though so responses won't be instant.

 

I wonder if there is a chance it's not clipped all the way back into the firewall...If there were zero slack, that might do it.

 

Thats the tranny cable no ?

 

Never mind tranny cables at far left gotta be some issue wth mabe bent brake why did yu replace the other,

 

No.

The kickdown cable is the 3rd cable on the bracket I believe.

From closest to firewall towards front of car: accelerator -> cruise -> kickdown.

 

I replaced it because it was broken..

 

Sounds like some thing binding the return sping on throttle body broke maybe take agoid look at that when you get .home.The spring in he cable pushes cable out the spring on throttle body keeps throttle plate closed .

 

 

Is the tb supposed to be fully closed or slightly open at idle? I'm thinking fully closed but just want to make sure.

I was talking to some other people and they think it might be a weak tb return spring too. Since the tb and accelerator cable were both original I'm guessing the springs just kinda weakened together on both parts over time but now that the cable has a new spring the tb spring just isn't strong enough to handle it.

 

pretty much closed if its open any the computer thinks your foots on gas pedal and applies more fuel which raises rpm

 

if you remove cable what des rpm do?

 

Yes, closed but not touching and making a groove in the TB. OK, I was just curious how it's going. You ARE sure the lower end of the cable housing is all the way in the firewall. I just mantion that because I can see mine seated in there from inside. Thinking that might do it if yours was not all the way "home". Let us know what works!

 

im still wondering why factory cable broke my self ?

 

Rpm is fine with cable off. Cable is just too tight so after I eat I'm going back out to look at it

 

It broke because after 18 years the plastic became brittle and it busted when I bumped it
