I would actually like to add my own throttle question about a car I was working on this past weekend. The owner had recently had the throttle body cleaned out, and it was working nicely. We put it back on the car, and hooked it up to the throttle spool. Wasn't quite making contact with the full throttle switch, so I adjusted the pedal stop bolt in the pedalbox to allow more movement (second car I've actually had to do that on), then adjusted the spool accordingly. Everything seemed all good, throttle would travel fully, make contact with both idle and enrichment microswitches, and the whole assembly moved very freely. Once we got the car running, we tested the gas pedal, but it was like somebody was playing a prank on us and pinching the line as it returned. The throttle would simply not fully return on its own. The engine usually ended up resting around 2-3k RPM. When manually pushing it back closed, it would be noticably stiff. When disconnecting the link rod from the spool, the throttle body again moved freely and perfectly, as did the throttle spool. But when putting the two back together, it just wasn't working again. (and the link pins for the rod were lubricated, however were not all that "greasy", it was more like WD40) I managed to temporarily fix it so the engine would relax a little better on its own, I did this by reducing the length of the connecting rod. This allows the throttle body to pull back on the spool a litte better, but results in lost movement of the throttle plates. It would be nice to regain this movment in the throttle so the car can truely go "wide open". What could be causing the hangup? My only thought would be the runny lubrication on the link rod, but with two springs at force attempting to pull the throttle back, I dont see why even dry links wouldn't work. Whatever thoughts are out there, just shoot them this way.
