throttle cable
I have a H22 EG 5 speed and every once in a while when i come to a stop my throttle gets stuck at about 2300 rpm's, but if i rev up really quick it goes back to normal. I have clean my throttle body but was told that the cable could be binding. if I need to get a new cable is there a certain cable I should get? thanks for the help

Re: throttle cable
Before you think about getting a new cable, check that the cable housing comes off of the bracket at a 90 degree angle (like it should) and that all the cable housing bends are as large radius as possible. The housing tension may just need adjustment at the bracket, but it's just as likely that the cable is getting sticky with age or that it is binding somewhere (because of the bend radius). I can't remember what the best throttle compromise is for that swap and that car (after a while it's all forgotten) but make sure you follow all the rules of common sense about the existing cable first, or else you might get a new cable and have the exact same problem.
