Hmmm.  I shall have to check that.  I may have added a zip tie during my
recent R&R of the motor...Didn't think of that.  The cable housing (where
the moving part of the cable itself emerges) IS attached to a bracket right
off the fuel rail..
 but maybe I did 'fix' the routing of the cable somewhere further "up the
line"...and that might be causing problems.
  Thanks,
  Don Hanson
