Subject:Re: Throttle Switch
Date:Thu, 24 Feb 2000 07:03:38 EST

I just adjusted my throttle switch and the REASON it gets out of
adjustment is that the PLASTIC cam on the end of the throttle shaft wears,
especially on the closed position.  When you look at the cam you will see
that there are two lobes on it.  One at the closed throttle position and one
at the open throttle position.  Obviously the one at the closed position gets
worn the most unless you got that lead foot syndrome, which will kill your
engine anyways !  This is why there are probably so many Vanagons out there
with this same problem.  Mileage and age of our Vans is showing !
