Subject:      Accelerator Cable - Broken?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"


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...
