Subject:      throttle shaft bushings ?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1

Having difficulty setting the throttle switch. I can remove the throttle and set the switch almost perfectly.When I reinstall it, and hook up the throttle return spring, I sometimes get  no ECU cut out at idle. Only the full throttle cut out.This especially when cold.


  I think what is happening , is that the throttle shaft is being "bent" off vertical by the return spring.This is because of worn shaft bushings on each side of the throttle plate.Throttle has 62K  on it. I replaced the actual switch with another as the old was defective.Still, no work proper.

  I see that the bushings are plastic, or rubber covered. I can wiggle the shaft a tiny bit.Can these be removed and replaced? Where can I get them? How do I remove them? They are very small.Thanks Roger
