Subject:Accelerator Cable - Broken?
From:robertmstewart

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 what�s happened...

I hope someone has an answer for me...

Thanks in advance...
