Description of the problem | While driving vehicle to work, noticed that cruise control would not engage as normal. As i began to decel onto the off-ramp, the engine rpm stay at approx 2800 rpm and would not go any lower. Found that black cruise control tab on throttle body had allowed throttle cable to slip out partially, causing the throttle body to stay partially open. Had to wire-tye the end of throttle body for cable to remain engaged to operate vehicle. |
