RE: [DML] Sticking Idle

["John Hervey" <john@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

John,
It does sound like the cable is sticking or the acceleration mechanism.
Also, I have recently found that the micro switch lever is so strong to push
down that it also may be keeping the throttle body lever from going to the
rest position. A weak return spring could also be contributing to the
problem. Make sure the micro switch screw is about 30 thousands turned in
after the bottom screw hits the rest plate.

Subject: [DML] Sticking Idle


My D idles fine around 900 RPM's but as soon as I give it gas and allow it
to come back to idle sometimes, not all the time it will remain @ 1500 RPM.
The problem is fixed with a quick burst of GAS.  I put this post up a few
weeks ago and I got back, something might be binding.  However, everything
seems okay except my accel. cable does seems to be stretched.  Could that be
the cause?  Any suggestions would greatly help because I'm going to really
get into to it this week.
