@andrewjtx - PM sent!
@ charmalu - no, actually WOT! When the part fails, the weight of the linkage on the front side that attaches to the IP pushes the IP lever to fully open! Side note, recently I didn't clip the rod from the firewall bushing in quite right, and the rod slipped out of the part that later broke (no connection, I think), simulating the problem I had in the road trip. The result was WOT around town - she was pulling into my daughter's preschool at the time, and went skidding around the corner with the motor racing. She said people looked at her like she was a crazy bat out of h*ll mom trying to get her kid to school. She killed the engine and called me for help. When I had the same problem on the road (no throttle action, engine at WOT), that is what I thought had happened again. Figured it was an easy fix....very different story though with the rubber breaking in half.

well, I went to the parts dept at the dealer and he quoted me $350. No mention of a recall, but I didn't ask. Seems like a problem that is only cropping up after 30+ years
