My 83 Turbo was doing this,I just lubed the cable,used spray graphite for

locks.I removed the cable from the throttle hub.held it out straight and

shot some spray into the opening with the small plastic nozzle..Worked the

cable in & out til it freed up and its been fine for over a year..If it sticks

again,I'll lube it again..Seems like the heat in the engine compartment makes

them bind up.////Chuck...VCOA#11095
