Accel pedal broken

BlueTuner · 02-23-2010, 08:29 PM

So i was driving on the road, and i hit the gas pedal. All the sudden the pedal goes soft. I can press down the pedal like nothing is there, I get home and i look at the engine, the metal line that goes from the pedal to the throttle thing are over laping. If you have no clue what im talking about heres a better discription. Push pedal, which pulls the line, which moves these things bolted on the engine, which moves a rod that opens and closes the throttle body part. The part between the gas pedal line and rod, became over lapping, it looks like a washer is missing, how does this happen. I will try to get a picture so it makes more sense.

Confusing as hell... Did the cable come off the pulley? Did the pulley come off the bracket? Did the linkage come off the throttle body's pulley/lever or off the lever on the pulley bracket?

Definitely need to post pics. I would think reassembly would be obvious, so I'm not getting something.
