Hi all, I gotta wierd surge problem and I thought id throw it out there in case anyone can confirm or deny my suspicions...
Sometimes while driving, if I take my foot off the gas the engine is still running as if my foot is down...it will just run and run until I either pump the gas once or twice and it will go away, or if I push the clutch in I can hear the engine surge...and then go down to idle...as if something is getting "stuck" and either applying the clutch or feathering the gas will free it up.
Suspicion number 1 is the carberatur, maybe the lfoat ball is getting sucked up and stuck...suspicion number 2 is the accelerator cable getting siezed up in its cable housing, although that wouldnt account for the surge going away if I apply the clutch....
Any ideas? Id like to avoid having my mechanic do some troubleshooting at 100 bucks an hour...
