Dear straving student,

Get that blood sugar up so you can spell.

Either that or you a enjiner.

Check to see if the kickdown cable has a cracked plastic sheath. When they leak, water sneaks inside the cable and freezes. This makes the throttle stick (happened to my '86 when daughter had it at college).

Moisture inside the kickdown cable also promotes rusting of the cable, which will cause a stiff throttle and cause the k/d cable to stay pulled out, allowing it to loop under one of the throttle body bolts and bind. This then causes a stiff throttle. It also cause high, hard shifts.
