OK, so we didn't know you couldn't adjust the throttle.....lol. BUT, in our defense I will say that 99% of the "damage" had been done by the previous owner trying to make it run when it was probably the crankshaft sensor going out all along (he had no clue there was such a creature on the car either). Anyhow, hubby tightened the linkage thingy back until it has minor tension, disconnected the battery, reconnected the battery and voila! It idles quite a bit slower now. Still seems a little fast so I am wondering how much to tighten that linkage? I plan on buying a Bentley's this coming weekend but wanted to see what you guys had to say.....
