strange problem: when i push the pedal, nothing happens. the car idles fine, the cable is connected at the TB and the sensors are all properly attached. theo nly codes i'm getting are for high idle (thank you over-ported TB) and lean on both banks (due to the high idle). worked fine yesterday.

any ideas?

 

Have somebody watch the TB while you push down on the foot feed, if the TB doesn't move yer cable has to be broken.

If the TB does open, and the engine doesn't respond, either yer engine is off or yer engine is really FARKED up.

 

Does your car have traction control? If so it may be a bad/broken TCS module as the cable goes to it before the throttle body.

 

Even if the cable is connected at the TB, it could still be broken somewhere in the cable. Give it throttle by hand right at the TB and see if it responds.

The pedal to TB is 100% mechanical, so if it's not working with the pedal, then your cable's snapped.

 

okay thanx, if it is broken do i have to replace the TCS module on the fenderwell or can the cable be removed from that

 

Not sure. I've never done either one. But you shouldn't need to replace anything but the cable.

 

My buddies throttle cable just snapped on his E30.. to get it home he grabbed onto the cable with his jumper cables and pulled the throttle through the window lol. Vids tomorrow.

 

You can just replace the cables and dealer can get them.

 

I want to see this LOL

 

wow haha good idea though...my friend's wiper motor took a dump once in his old firebird once, driving home in the rain so he tied his shoelaces to the wipers and pulled em back n forth so he can see

 

and I vote for broken snapped cable too....or maybe linkage from pedal to cable got disconnected or osmething
