broken throttle cable?
tell me I'm not screwed? easy to replace? i stripped the torx bits that hold that bracket down to the intake manifold so i can't take that off to get at it.

Ack. I hate it when that stuff happens. Always in places with limited access too.
I'd consider taking a dremel with a small cut-off wheel and cutting a flat notch into the screw heads, then unscrewing them with a stubby flat blade.

Those puppys are tight huh! When you were taking them off were you using a torx bit and drive?

I don't know who thought it was a good idea to make radiator tanks out of that same stuff, but they're on "The List".
