ok guys and gals.

I realize that I may be the sole owner of a first gen cummins here, but has anyone else exprienced their throttle pedal stickin in place and no goin down? on a couple occasions, I hit the trottle pedal and its like tryin to kick a block wall. it doesnt move!! after a few swift "re-adjustments" it gives in to sheer force. I am concerned maybe the cable or linkage may be fouled in some way.

any ideas would be much appreciated .

thanks

 

sounds like your linkage to your VE is either 1. binding up, or 2. the throttle arm on the VE is comeing up too high.

if #2, all you need to do is losten the jamb nut and move the arm down a few teeth.

 

Demon is also a 1st gen owner, however he's probably still down for the count with his surgery.

Your on your own son ...

 

BBBBZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZTTTTTTTTTTTT

sorry, you are wrong. . . 2nd gen

95 or 97 vintage I believe

 

DAMN, that's right. He's a 12v owner. That's what I was thinking of.

 

I have an '89 no problems w/the throttle,161,000mi

 

Kevin just replaced his VE pump not long ago. . .I can understand it needing a few more adjustements to get everything right.

 

I have a 92 dually, with 169,000. I have owned it for 4 years now, withno throttle problems.

 

I am not sure if the throttle stuck before the fi pump was replaced. I know its done this twice in a month and its freaky when youre in an intersetion and you cant goooooo!

I will update after I figure it out.

thanks guys!
