1998 V70 NA - P0505 and throttle cable

Post by STLV70 »

I decided to get serious about correcting P0505. No weird idling, and the car runs ok. Surges to 1500 RPM when the car starts, immediately holds steady at roughly 1000 RPM. I cleaned the IAC with MAF sensor cleaner and q-Tips last night. While looking at the throttle cable, I noticed that it may be missing a tensioning nut of some type? I think there should be one more piece toward the firewall, where the cable connects with the mounting area. Picture and video below.

Also wondering, what is a good way to lubricate the springs associated with the throttle cable?

That throttle cable looks like it's at the end of its life,
I just replaced mine a few weeks ago, due to the cable hanging up inside the sheathing. It adjusts by threading the square piece that slips into the mounting bracket.

Try to learn life's bad lessons vicariously through others.
