Thumbs up

Got it any why I said # 1 : disconnect the vertical linkage rod and then see if the TP goes to full throttle stop or not .

Then, figure it out from there .

So what I'm saying is that while I realize the linkage being sloppy isn't helping anything, I do not believe it is hindering the car from reaching full throttle. Either something is messed up in the IP itself or someone simply turned the full throttle stop in too far ? I'll take a photo or video and post what I'm talking about for clarity.
