Accelerator cable sticks again two weeks after I replaced it with a new one and my throttle body is smooth:
When the rear transmission ground strap which grounds the powerplant becomes unattached or weak, the engine uses the accelerator cable as a supplementary ground since it is the only other piece of the assembly connected to the chassis by a wire. (the power plant is suspended in rubber) This small cable takes a lot of electricity, and like a toaster element, gets hot and then starts to melt the plastic catheter causing the cable to stick. In the worst case the cable sheath melts into the accelerator cable steel tube and is impossible to get out with out removing the steel tube from the unibody. We hope that this never happens to you like it happened to me years ago! |
