Hi,you say cable not jamed have you undone the cable and tryed to move it back and forwould it could be fraid in the sleave that the cable runs through,or if not that then it could be the butterfly inside the carb which is worn and getting stuck and not shutting off properly,hope this was some help,all the best.
I'll send you a link to the full 'illustrated parts manual' maintenance wise, i regularly oil up the inner shafts and brarings in the tube, also grease up the shaft that has the plastic sleve over it, Because it can become dry and start to grip within the case and vibrate.
Not the pedal, but the accelerator cable can sometimes get jammed inside it's protective sheath or cover. This happened to me. Look at your threottle control on the throttle body. Is the throttle in its normal idle position?
Absolutely and DANGEROUS. What you need to do is isolate the problem before fixing or replacing parts.
Disconnect the throttle cable. Push on the disconnected cable from the inside of your vehicle. Find out if cable is sticking.
If not, go to the disconnected throttle lever. Try to position it to stick. If it does stick there are several reasons. The TPS switch is binding and needs to be replaced, or the throttle plate may have a missing or loose screw. The screws are usually flared once they are installed and are not meant to be removed. Bad things if engine ate one.
The throttle housing may show signs of binding from the butterfly flap. If the housing was in an accident, the housing may be warped. Carbon buildup can jam action too.
Bad return spring on throttle housing. You need to replace spring or get different throttle body with a strong spring.
All of these parts should want to close more than to open.
well if you're feeling it while driving in the gas pedal then you may have buildup in your throttle body which u can access by removing the plastic air intake right at the throttle, grab some cleaner and spray a LITTLE in the throttle with the pedal down to the floor, then spray the **** out of a clean rag and with the throttle open scrub the walls of the throttle right there at the opening and clean all the black **** off. make sure to get the inside of the throttle plate thoroughly. also next to the throttle where the cable hooks up there is a coiled up spring. make sure its not rusty/nasty if in question then drown it in wd40 or equivalent. if none of that helps then its probably the cable itself which would need replaced. hope i was helpful
This is a dangerous defect. What you want to do is isolate the Cruise cable from the Throttle mechanism. Then get the Cruise cable away from the Throttle so it can not jam the Throttle accidentally.
With the engine OFF use your hand and move the remaining Throttle mechanism and feel for sticking or roughness in the control. If you feel binding, start removing the connection of the Throttle cable and work your way through all the moving parts like a Butterfly flap on the Airhorn, the TPS (throttle position sensor) and so on until you find out what is rubbing.
It is possible that the Cruise was disengaging because the Throttle parts were binding. If disconnecting the Cruise eliminates the sticking throttle, then all the problems came from the Cruise control cable or the Cruise Box. Once you have made a thorough check of the Throttle you can blame the Cruise for your problems and replace the parts.
