Click here and check your car to see if you have #14 or a flat plate with no valve.

You're welcome. Glad you found your problem! I had the broken clip and the rod was getting caught on it. Erratic WOT acceleration for sure! I was able to salvage enough of the clip to keep it running properly until I got around to buying a new clip. A few months later and it still works. I'm in no rush to buy an overpriced piece of plastic, now.
