Or better yet, a reliable source for the throttle plate?
I emailed Don Waltrip Volvo like 2 days ago and they haven't gotten back to me.

They have an 800 number. Don and Jamie get VERY busy over there. (I live nearby and play hockey with Jamie so I talk to him often) you'd be better off calling and just telling one of those two guys that you are calling from Matthews site. They'll hook you up

Just FYI: DW Volvo is no longer offering deals to the Volvo online community.

Sad, but true.

WOW.

I feel like we all just lost a friend, they were the best parts people I've ever dealt with

Yea, it's really sad, but understandable. They did it at no benefit to themselves, and if some people start trying to take advantage of it and are rude, then I definitely see why they would not care to continue it.

If it doesn't open as much that way, start turning the plastic screw thing on the throttle cable bracket to tighten it up.

Sorry, I tend to launch into long stories that really have nothing to do with anything at hand, but that's what I'm usually thinking at the moment. That, anyway, is the reason my cable is broken, and I'd be willing to bet I don't show 100% open throttle either.

DW isn't good about responding to emails; give them a call tomorrow if you can.

Alright I will try this before I head off to my last exam of the semester.

plastic screw thing. isnt as bad as when I wrote

the rod piece attacking the throttle body to the throttle

I just received TBP from them for 4.25 with 2 screws last week, I spoke with Don and told him I'm a member here and he knew exactly what I wanted TBP 4.

gents, I live in Franklin. If there is something you can't find anywhere else let me know and I can make a parts run for you and get it at DW. We'd have to work out the payment of course but if I can help let me know.
