Hi everyone,
I just had the throttle position switch replaced in my
'89 Mi16 in Boston after the car was giving me a CHECK
ENGINE light under heavy throttle at 5000rpm post-top
end engine rebuild.
I got the car last night and am getting some weird
symptoms. If I accelerate lightly, the car's throttle
is sticking at 1800-2000rpm. I can literally not
touch the throttle in 4th at 40mph and I might as well
have the cruise control on. Same if I am at a stop.
If I just touch the throttle, it will then increase to
about 1800-2000...if I do a 4000rpm rev, it drops back
to normal.
If I smack the throttle and rev the engine while
driving, the idle returns to normal too...850-900rpm.
I've been having to brake, shift to neutral, hit the
throttle to reset the idle and come to a stop. Kind
of a pain....
Did my mechanic not "set" the throttle position switch
when he installed it? How do I fix this? Quick fix,
hopefully?
Thanks everyone!
