Well, my throttle problem has gotten worse, to teh point that I probably can't drive it until I fix it. I further diagnosed it today with a lot of driving.
Here's the symptoms:
It will let me drive at about 5mph (like 1/100th of pressing the pedal down)
Once you go past that point, the throttle cuts on and off repeatedly.
If you put it in neutral while rolling, same effect.
AS SOON AS YOU ROLL TO A COMPLETE STOP as in, the immediate point you go from 1mph to 0, the throttle comes back and acts normal while stopped. I tested this by rolling at 5mph, keeping the throttle at about half throttle, and it would sequentially stumble until I hit 0 then it went right to where it should be and held steady.
Any ideas?
Is there a speed sensor or something? This problem definately feels sounds and appears to be electrical. I was thinking some kind of road speed sensor of some sort.
Do these symptoms rule out the throttle potentiometer? Potentiometer sounds like it would have to do with the speed, but this seems like the spark is being cut off. It seems liek something that sends the signal to give spark, is not workign correctly.
If it helps any, I got goign about 30 down a hill, and it seemed to do the same, but longer pauses between fires.
Thanks for any help.
