It sure looked like a servo cable at the TB end. I guess it could be a plastic vacuum line. This rig is so foreign to me.
. Give me a set of distributor points, and a carb any day!
I hear that! My last ride was an 88 Cherokee. It had some computers but nothing like the KK or KA. It was a BIG learning curve having to deal with all the computers. The Bummer is they make it almost impossible to Mod or tune to your liking.
I remember setting points with a matchbook cover, and rotating the distributor a little to get more jump off the line. Then tuning the carb/carbs by ear and a screwdriver. 80-140 Mph on the freeway with no traffic or police around. Ahhh, the good old days...
But alas, I digress back to reality. Drive by wire sucks!
Particularly when the throttle sticks at 4000 rpm as you are approaching a stop sign and pressing on the brake as hard as you can! "POP it into neutral!", my brain is screaming, as I am now just 20' from the car stopped at the sign.
The cause was just a tiny bit of carbon buildup in the throat of the TB, causing the butterfly valve to stick. Now I check and clean the TB every 3 months.
