Thank you so much. I think I can take it from here. You’ve been a God-Send.

Thanks so much. Where is this device located in reference to the throtle body itself? Is there a picture somewhere? When I removed the black plastic cowling everything looked clean and good. I located the section on "Accelerator cable removal/replacement in my Haynes manual, but I couldn’t find...
