Please!
Just don't link to it since I'm hosting it on my PC at work.

I'll get another pic today with the cam opened. (Someone on NASIOC wanted it)


Thanks a bunch!

Brian

I wasn't going to link to it, I was going to do a right click save as and put it on the site that way.

The instruction on what to do if the problem occurs while driving seem to me to be rather dumb. If the throttle is going to stick wide open it seems to me that the thing to do is kill the ignition and get off the road ASAP. Yes, power steering and p/brakes will be affected, but the car can still be controlled. I plan to have my clutch problem fixed at the same time (no need to do things twice).

it is not just the cruise control... it can engage even when you are not using the actual function. if you got the letter try and get your car fixed ASAP (gdogg, i know you work on a lot so you prolly dont need to worry about it )

Got mine fixed yestarday, took 15 min, no appointment... pretty good.
The guy said it happened once in Colorado and that is why they were recalling all these cars.
No biggie.. Id rather have a recal than a stuck cruise control cable.

I had mine done while they were doing some other work. My dealer did my friends OB while he waited, took 10 min to do:

Your dealer is just being a PITA, or they need a car to get lunch with
