[V8] New Silver '90

Wed Oct 21 01:02:28 PDT 2009

Thanks John, but i already figured out the problem. I posted it on 
"[V8] Brake Servo & Sticking Throttle". The fault was infact in the 
throttle assembly.

You might wanna wait a bit until you come here though, it's getting 
quite cold already.. ;)
