Car is 95 2g Talon TSI AWD
During this winter I had I replace my heater core. While I was inside the car removing the entire dash and what not my "friend" decided he had a GREAT idea to completely remove and disassemble the throttle cable housing on the firewall. This is the one that has 1 cable going in from the dash and two going out. One to the throttle body and the other to the cruise control. All of this mahem so he could get an extra 2 cm to get at the heater hose. FAIL!
Anyways, fast forward a few frustrating months. I cannot seem to get this thing back right. The throttle seems to stick once its warmed up. It starts at 1k and then 1.5, 2, 3, and so on. And of course this makes the car start to overheat which is just LOVELY. I just read a few minutes ago that this could be because of a vac leak, a mis-adjusted cable(s), or insert your best guess.
I'm working on the vac leak check and know how to do this. But can anyone post the manual instructions for setting the cables? BTW, my cruise has stopped working as well. Light comes on, it will "set" for a second and then turn off. Checked the stop on the clutch and break and both buttons are engaging.
