[16v] well, SON of a $#@%&^

["Ryan Schuermann"<rts@nol.net>]

i think i tracked down my stalling problem, and mr
bentley can kiss my damn ass! and so can my stupid
mechanic.

.so now im really pissed im kicking crap knocking on
gizmos, pushing tight vaccume hoses, replacing clamps
jacking with the throttle cable...wait...what's this???
when i let the throttle cable go at WOT it closes, but
then continues to bounce open a few times like dropping
a tennis ball instead of a 1 ton lead weight. I believe
i have a broken throttlebody! obviously this makes sense
as the car behaves normally when i ease off the gas gently,
but when comming to a more abrupt stop like from 3500rpm
to idle the t-body venturis must bounce open a bit, letting
more air in, stalling out my car. ohhh yeah, we'll I guess
i'll see tomorrow morning when i goto work. thanks all for
the tips, i tried just about every check and replacement 
trying to nail this down. godd thing i got like 3 other tbodys
lying around that i was able to compare the difference in
closing action of the venturis.

i didnt have time to jack with the headlights, they were working fine last week
so maybe the wiring went to hell
and a ground went bad somewhere like someone suggested
so tomorrow i'll spend the day cleaning and replacing all
the ground wires from battery to to strut towers to engine
etc etc that are already on the car, plus inspect the stock
ground wiring..hell you know i know yer all going to say I
should just install relays....hehe =)
