My thorttle cable is messed up.

When I lift up the gas pedal idle goes down

when im driving and at a stop light it idles from 1k-2.5k until I lift up on the gas pedal.

The thorttle sticks until I lift up the gas pedal

I been playing with it for awhile now and cant seem to get it right.

If you could drive the car, you could bring it to me and i could adjust it. Probably wont take longer then 10 mins.

 

PM me your address Ill go over if it isnt to far cause my lug nut stud is also broken lol

 

seriously, you only need I think a 12mm wrench. loosen the one nut, pull the cable towards the tb, then retighten the nut. shouldn't take more than 5-10 minutes.

I did that many many times.

It never sits right or something it keeps on changing my idle. It always seems to slightly stick sometimes

 

Thats a Y7 throttle cable with a Y8 manifold right? You need a Y8 throttle cable.

Damn good eye!

So I have to get a new one? I cant use the DX one?

 

No, its to long (obviously) so it wont sit right.

DAMNIT!! hahaha

 

that cable doesn't look like it's routed right.

 

you might also check to see if the throttle body butterfly is sticking a little. if you got the motor used you might need to clean out the throttle body. sometimes when they get dirty and clogged they tend to stick alittle.

but props to the guy who saw the cable.

Its not that its not routed right, its that its the wrong damn cable.

 

chill out. Yeah, that looks like a y7 with a y8 IM on it. The throttle cable is long, but it'll work fine.

Your idle is EITHER a vacuum leak...

OR, you put the wrong spring on the throttle cable rotor attachment bit. I assume you swapped that and know what im talking about. get a Helms manual and adjust your throttle cable with that nut on the throttle cable holder (the brass colored piece of metal bolted to the manifold with 2 screws.
