Didn't I just get through saying I haven't run my car? Do I have to repeat myself so you'll get the point? I guess someone shoulda said this twice: Don't cut throttle cables to try to make your car lighter, granted it'll make your car run 14.979 @ 91.9 MPH but it might screw something up...

I'd bet i'll put 20 on you.

[wrightz28]

okay, so did you disconnect the PCM connector for the cruise control? I doublt this, but my first instinct was that for some reason, running the motor with the circuit open caused it? i doubt that tho.

Sure you didn't just knock a vacuum line off?

[CamarosRsweet94]

Well, I gotta go to work, I wish you the best of luck on your weight reductions.

whats up with all of the fuckin hostility.

[Savage Messiah]

read my damn post, it's the cruise control to throttle cable, the gas pedal to throttle cable is completely sepatate.

Read the OTHER post too, first off he said it makes no sound at all and if you know half of how much you talk you'd know that fuel pumps going are a VERY, VERY common occurance on 4th gens. When truning the key you hear the pump hum as it primes... if theres NO SOUND then that cant happen.

Then read again... because I re-read his post, and said "oh chekc the fuel pump anyway but it sounds more liek vats"


sorry, I shouldn't have told you to read a book, you are obviously either too illiterate or too stupid to.

I think it's that time of the month

[korndogg]

well then maybe you should change your tampon. Im talking about all 3 of you.

[wrightz28]

I'm gonna take a look at a reference here for a second and get back at ya Kasey, let things cool off around here.

[Savage Messiah]

The hostility is due to me asking for help and morons coming in doing jsut the opposite.

Blazing you probably would put 20 on me, I'm not denying that or saying my car is fast, I was saying that in responce to dumbass saying theres little diufference between 16s and high 14s.

Wright, I disconnected the electrical connector that's on the cruise control module, then plugged it back in after this happened and its stil ldoing it

thanks... just tried looking into the TB to see if ithe blades are stuck open, but i cant see in... angled throttle body and a MAF screen makes it to that id have to pull the radiator and stick my head there to see

[wrightz28]

well, you don't have to physically see if there open by looking in it, what is the position of bracket that the cables attach to? if you can twist it opens and snaps shut (which it should anyway) then they are closed; There is a spring around the base of the bracket for that purpose.

[Savage Messiah]

yea they close fine... however a guy on another board pointed out:


well what i'm saying is that you probably have a mechanical problem over an electrical one, there is no way the TPS could influence the opening of a mechanical throttle blade.

I don't see why everyone is bitching about removing something not being used in your car..... It's actually rather dumb to have things in your engine bay that aren't being used unless you plan to use it in the future. Now KC, a picture would be nice of what you actually messed with... I'm not too sure how the 3.8's are compared to the 5.7s.

[Savage Messiah]

WRIGHT YOU ARE THE MAN!

I just went out and puleld the throttle PEDAL cable at the TB, it snapped back but on a hunch I went to see if I could push it close any more... I did and it worked.
