TPS problem. Just did a log and HORIST (as usual) noticed that my TPS was only opening 70%. Well I found out I had a vacuum line stopping it from opening it. No problem just moved it. I then with the engine off scanned and mashed the throttle. It opened to 100%...cool. But when I started the car and drove it only went up to 80%. Stopped the car and just turned the ignition to the ON position mashed it again and went back to 100%. Anyone know whats up with that??

Anyway guys had cut some floor mats and crap also. I didn't think it was touching or didnt affect it but I guess it did. Trending Topics

ok, I went out and checked the physical travel of the throttle and it's only opening about 85%. This would explain a whole lot...
Is there any way to adjust this? It's about 15 to 20% of the way from hitting the bump-stop on the throttle-body itself so I think grinding that would be somewhat useless at this point.
How do you adjust the throttle cable?
