Guys/Gals,
Awhile ago I had this problem where the throttle wouldn't "let go" and I cleaned out the IAB and it solved the problem. Now it's back and worse- it's like an unwanted cruise control and the only way to get it to idle normal is to put it in first and use the clutch and brake. On the highway I leave it in gear and brake- not what should happen with a manual. How often does the IAB need to be cleaned? The throttle cable isn't cinched anywhere, could it be the T/B? Where's the best place to get a new IAB and how much do they usually run? Thanks-
Rob
