Racing engine on 88 5KCSQ

[Sheffield Corey]

Hi Lou,

I had a similar experience with my '87 5kCSQ when the plastic grommet
that holds the rod to the cruise control on top of the engine
shattered. Yup, the lil' white plastic grommet that holds the rod in
the metal guide just disentegrated on the road one day and would not
let me depress the pedal very far as the rod was now wedged against
something else on top of the engine. I would check there first. These
grommets are available. I may even have the part number at my house,
but I am not presently there.

HTH,

Shef



>>>>>>Can I get some advice on what to look for to solve this
please? First, my gas pedal felt as though pressing further beyond what
was giving a steady driving speed (about 40 mph) produced little change

in
power (no missing or other signs of engine trouble). It also felt as
though the gas pedal linkage might be hung up in floormat or other
place. I pressed quite far down on pedal thinking to clear it and in a
second or so got a good increase in speed. Only problem was engine
speed
stayed up there. Didn't seem to help by attempting to lift pedal with
toe. Felt like an automatic with too high idle speed. When I
disengaged clutch, tach went up to 4000 rpm with no pedal pressure. I
was
ready to switch off ignition but rpm came down by itself. But now idle
speed is around 2000 rpm.
	Did I bend something or slip some joint by pressing beyond the gas
pedal resistance? Help!
