Nope, Toyota doesn't have a corner on the market. Okay, the problem
is/was the engine revving high when slowing down. First it only went up
to 3K, then when it started going to 4K+, I turned around and came back
to my shop. I'd stopped along the way to see if the accelerator cable
was pulling out. Using my anemic needle nose pliers it didn't seem so.
Weird part is just as I was turning into the driveway, the idle went
down to normal.
'75 Alfetta GT; Nord; Weber 40 DCOE's; Euro inlet manifold, etc.;
MarelliPlex
Cable was tight, but tightened it a tad more.
Throttle shaft/unit not hung up
Nothing missing on the inlet manifold
No cracks on either the distributor cap or rotor
Springs in place on the mechanical distributor advance
Distributor tight - doesn't rotate
I had very recently been working around the bracket on the firewall for
the throttle cable (heater hose), but that's it. Nothing even touched
the throttle cable.
I just took it for a drive and it seems fine. However, I didn't really
fix anything and wondering if it might come back. A real pain since I
had to turn the engine off at stop lights. I'd hate to get caught in
stop and go traffic and have the unintended revving return.
Any thoughts?
