starter took a dump on me.. so i replaced it.. got all done. hooked up all hoses ect.. intake..

took her for a spin. noticed the gas pedal was only going halfway.. so my retarted self.. forced it down.. and well it got stuck. >< kept accelerating, brakes did nothing. had to ebrake it. hold brakes hard to slow down enough to pull over and kill the switch..

opened up the hood. and noticed that when i put the intake back on at the throttle body. the screw was too far to the left. thus not allowing the throttle cable to "let out"..

sucks. big cloud of smoke. nasty rubber smell.. i cried

but all is well now. got it fixed.. while i was at it, i noticed my motor mount was old and wore out. (that must be why i get vibrations every now and then, when at half throttle) what are some good replacement mounts? and how much am i looking at to get them replaced..

thanks

 

ouch, something to keep an eye out for.

 

Man,

Good thing you were able to bring her back under control!

Have you checked your tires for 'flat spots'?

I wish you the best and am glad you are ok!!!

Swee

 

sry to hear about that man! good think u go it under control!

 

ouch, motor mounts hmm that's something everyone over look on that, how many miles on the odo?

 

next time that happens, put the car in neutral and quickly turn off the engine.
