Here goes...
one day before the meet. I washed the car, polished the crap out of it and took my whole day...

then I decided that I wanna increase the idle speed a little. I did the usual thing. Loosen the nut, increased the idle and tighten the nut.

I heard a loud snap and I broke my idle speed adjuster. It's not the pin that broke. It's that part that holds the pin.... it seems like it's a built in part of the injection pump. Maybe not.. I hope it's not.

Now I have to get the car towed to a shop.... what a great thing!
Am I really looking at a new injection pump? Is it my only option?
I bet the labor costs are going to kill me as well....

................I don't know what to say.... I really don't know what to do...


Is there a way to alter the linkage somewhat? I don't give a damn if I can't shut the engine off with the emergency engine shut off lever. At least I can drive it to the shop and get that new injection pump...

Just when I thought NOTHING could go wrong....
I wanna take a pic of the broken part but my digi cam isn't working and I am not interested to find out why....
my internet's acting up... what a day...
