How do I check the throttle linkage? Also, with the air cleaner housing off and the distributor exposed I can start the car and give it gas by had and what I notice is that the plate seems to pulsate some and not open all the way (the plate connected to the fuel distributor, not the actual throttle body). Also, I am getting a CEL code #17, which is O2 sensor shorted to positive or ground. O2 sensor is brand new, maybe a week old. Could this be the OVP? This acceleration problem is really annoying and very unsafe. I can't get above 60-65 mph and it takes at least 15-20 seconds to get to 40 mph from a stop.
