Re: '89 Cherokee Throttle Linkage
Thanks for the advice. I am having a hard time believing a paper clip
will stand the test of time. Is this recommended as a temporary fix?
Do you know of any places online where I could pickup a throttle
linkage part fairly inexpensive?

Re: '89 Cherokee Throttle Linkage
Bill--thanks for the reply. I checked out the pdf. I will definitely
take a look at the Speed Step Motor. I am just curious how it directly
affects the thottle linkage though. Can you give some insight? Also,
the plastic clip your talking about is that to replace the plastic clip
on the end of the throttle linkage that connects to the throttle arm?
Please forgive me ahead of time --I am just learning. Thanks.

Re: '89 Cherokee Throttle Linkage
The step motor bypasses the throttle butterfly, and makes you think
it's not closing.

Re: '89 Cherokee Throttle Linkage
Update! Last night I went out to Jeep and tried tackling the problem
again. The first time I tried snapping the throttle linkage back on
the throttle arm I was only using my fingers. Last night I used pliers
and it snapped right back on with no problems. I started the Jeep up
and found that it was reving fine. I got a little cocky and took it
around the block and then at some point the throttle went back to its
bad behavior and would not close. So, I had to turn the Jeep off and
manually close it. So, I am stilling has this problem with the
throttle linkage sticking. It seems to be sticking where the throttle
linkage connects to the side of the motor.
