As you can see he has other vehicles too. - --- On Thu, 2/11/10, Bernie Bennett <[email protected]> wrote: > From: Bernie Bennett <[email protected]> > Subject: ALFA AD ON KWHI > To: "Bernie and Diana Bennett" <[email protected]> > Date: Thursday, February 11, 2010, 9:47 AM > Hey, my Bern.

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?
