Howzit Everyone...

Just thought I'd put this out there for those who have experienced a throttle sticking problem with your Accufab TB.

I my case, and I think probably yours as well, the cruise control cable was too short...about 1/8th of an inch...

This was because the mounting point for the CC cable on my Accufab, is a little more forward, than the stock TB. The result was that the throttle would not close completely...

I simply modified (bent and shimmed) the cable bracket (on the intake manifold) to move the CC cable mounting point on the bracket, a little forward...Problem solved...

For those who continue to encounter this problem...try looking at your CC cable...Install your TB without the CC cable connected...Does it snap closed??? If so...connect the CC cable...No close? There's your problem...

Good Luck...

I also heard of a few sticking after install due to the TPS being in a bind with the shaft.

Thanks Rich...

There you have it folks...

Two things to look for, if you have such problems...

It is a shame to have this beautiful piece sitting on your work bench, because of such issues...

Good luck...

I just added the same TB and noticed it right away, I did the same fix just a washed behind bolt on the cruise control side of the braket, works fine.
