Well, I finally got my 914. I've been posting here for about 2 weeks, while I was waiting for its delivery. I now have the car here, at home, but I can't really do much to it since I kinda/sorta injured my hand at work.

On to the challenge at hand: I noticed when I drove the car home from the drop-off point that the throttle is getting stuck. I noticed the PO took off the pedal board for reasons unknown. When I tried to lubricate the accelerator pedal, thinking this is the culprit, I heard a really good rubbing noise... I'm guessing it's somewhere in the actual cable runner, but I'm not sure....

So... I tried a little WD40... it's definitely not helping... Any suggestions???

Thanks,

Carlos

Do you hear the same rubbing sound when you press the clutch? You could have the two cables wrapped around each other. Pretty easy to do.

I did a little more research on this... and it seems the noise is only present on the accelerator pedal... but the noise does not seem present if I remove the linkage that moves the actual cable. Any thoughts? Is it difficult to replace the throttle cable?

Right now, no manuals... I'd like to get the Haynes manual and some of the others... but those have to come with time, as things get moving. First priority is to make the car roadworthy, so I can pass State inspection and get plates.

So... yes, throttle is good. I guess I"ll start checking prices for a throttle cable.

Thanks for your feedback.
