Throttle locks up
Here is message stupid #$@%@ computer messed up.
On my 87 I have been having problems with the throttle going stiff if I shut my engine off at a gas station or store or something. It takes a few minutes of driving before it returns to normal operation. This is both annoying and potentially dangerous because the throttle can become stuck open if you give it gas when it is stiff. Has anyone else had this problem? Is it the throttle cable or the linkage on the throttle body?
Thanks in advance for any help.
