OK:
I've replaced all of the pushrod valve tubes and seals, replaced the oil cooler seal, replaced the oil temp sensor, re-sealed the taco plate, replaced the transmission mounts and re-assembled the engine to the car. Everything works perfectly, running at idle no leaks! Great!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) But when I re-attach the throttle cable, it is so stiff the throttle does not return to idle. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) No throttle cable problems for the previous 12 monthhs, and all of a sudden - BAM! I have re-routed the cable now so it is a straight shot out of the firewall and no difference - still very stiff (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . #1 What have I done??? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) #2 How do I fix it? My thanks to all... |
