Hey, Well I dont know what to do. I have a good idle at around 1500 right now and it is because the trottle cable is sticking somehwere. I know it is this because ya know where it wraps around the thingy in the engine, that you push to higher the RPMs, where you go to adjust the slack in the cable, Well I loosened it all the way and it is still sticking. When I push the thing down to where it is supposed to be the idle is fine again but once I hit the pedal and let go again it is back up to around 1500.

I think it is that the spring has lost its springiness or something. Anyone know what I am talking about?? Is there any way of fixing this?? Or am I just going to have to "fix" it by adjusting the idle with that screw?

Sorry for the bad descriptions dont quite know the names of everything
Thanks
