I noticed today that my rpms jump up and down when I give it gas around the 2500-3000 rpm range. My throttle cable needs to be replaced,could that be the problem???? I just need some help.

why does ur throttle cable need to be replaced?
ur RPMs wouldnt jump, they'd probably just stick. This post has been edited by Supersprynt: Jul 22, 2003 - 12:36 AM -------------------- |

The throttle cable sticks at low rpms and thats why I need to replace it but,when I give it gas in lets say 5th gear while its between the 2500-3000 rpm range it will jump uplike i want it too but then a split second later it will drop back down then jump up and down again.

Would it be slipping in 5th and not be slipping in 1st? It might be a stupid question because i've only been driving a 5 speed fpr about a month.

are you sure you are not getting a miss somewhere. I had a similar problem and it turned out to be a bad spark plug. you should check the easy stuff like that b4 you go and jump into bigger jobs like replacing the cluch! ask someone who knows a little about engines to listen to the car idle then if you have to take them for a ride so they car feel it. Best way to diagnose a problem is to get many ideas and then start with the easy ones first and work through all ideas 'till the prob is gone.
