So I was messing around the idle on my 88 auto, some will remember I posted a question about idle issues the other day. Anyway, I was adjusting the idle and on the process when the engine was off I was lubricating the accellerator cable and the entire mechanism, the springs etc , that are connected to throttle unit. It was running fine, it was accelerator when I pushed the cable, then I went to to start the van later in the day and I noticed that the pedal had no pressure! I assume that accidentally may have broken the cable, or where the cable connects under the pedal? Any ideas? I am no mechanic but I assume I am going to have to remove the front spare tire and see what¹s happened... I hope someone has an answer for me... Thanks in advance...
