Worcester/Boston Social Thread
There's only a few places that I could imagine the throttle cable snagging, but in most of those places it should be sheathed and not require lubrication.
Over time, it's not unthinkable that the cable stretched and/or expands more with heat, but I have real doubts that the expansion would be so significant that the throttle would stick open, especially against the pressure of the closure spring.
If you have to pull the pedal up to close the throttle, I think you have 1 of two problems:
1) Your throttle body is dirty.
2) Your cruise control is causing your throttle cable to hang up, which could be:
A) Cruise control module dirty
B) Cruise control malfunction (including vac issue, if it's vac-operated)
I'd start with a throttle-body cleaning and lube...it's a decent maintenance item anyway. Maybe just a visual inspection, with the TB on the car, will confirm that it needs a cleaning.
Next, I'd take a peek at the cruise control.
Further, inspect any spot on the throttle cable where the bare cable goes into the sheath...check for residue/pollen+oil/road dust at those transitions.
Let us know how it goes.
They have had sex.
Seriously dude...go onto www.club240.com and look through the 'wheel and tire" thread. Search it. Find a size that people are running that you would feel comfortable with.
