4kqs Accelerator Problem Update

[Chris Talley]

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]

I had a chance to look at this a little more here are the symtoms;

The initial problem was the accelerator pedal going soft and the car stalli=
ng.
I wish I was driving at the time to have a little more data but I wasn't.
It Won't start it has spark and smells like it's getting fuel, weather it's
getting into the cylinder I am not sure.
It seems like the  throttle has very little resitance but when you press the
pedal it opens the mechanism on top of the throttle body operates.
The Idle control valve seems to make a gurgling noise that I never noticed
before, then again I may just not have noticed.

Is a broken spring on the throttle body linkage going to keep the car from
running? The spring did not look broken, but would explain the soft pedal.

Could this be something  like a blown fuel injector fuse ?

How often does a idle control valve go bad and could this be a problem ?

TIA Chris
