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.

Put another return spring on it, it's required to run on a drag
