So the V8 5 speed didn't like not being driven more than ten miles in
the last year14 months -- and I think eight of those were in early
January 2006. Duh! And she's not happy. With the help of Tim
Hollister (Thanks, Tim!), I replaced the timing and reference sensors
with known good pieces. Took her for a test drive and among other
issues,she was behaving sluggishly and then when I pressed on the
throttle Italian style she wouldn't close up. Unplanned 7k is no
fun! I have the throttle body exposed now and was wondering where
these things stick? I've manually opened the throttle and encounter
resistance near idle position and sticking with butterflies 2/3
open. Anyone with any experience with this?
