Further '88 5KSQ Accelerator Linkage Problem

[Christopher Ritchie]

The accelerator linkage in my '88 5KSQ seems to have about 1 inch play 
before it engages.  Driving the car is very difficult.  It bucks.  It is 
either on hard or off.  I noticed the little white plastic bushing on the 
cruise control rod near the vacuum servo was broken.  It was suggested that 
this could be the problem.

1. OK.  I'll fix that.  But how does that affect the throttle when the 
cruise control on not on?  I can see where the vacuum servo would pull the 
throttle rod if the plastic bushing were attached.  But even when attached, 
the plastic bushing allows the rod to push by it.  It appears the plastic 
bushing allows the cruise contol vacuum servo to pull the rod, but not push 
it.  I'm now wondering if there is more to this problem.

2. Where is the accelerator/throttle linkage in the Bentley?
