Should have known something was bound to happen. Just made the 1100+ mile trip out to Kansas. I'm gonna be here for several months cause I have to get some training prior to deploying to Iraq. Everything went fine on the road (one fillup I got 26.3 MPG), but once I got here I noticed that my throttle was sticking again. I went in to check the two throttle plate screws and found that the rod that the plate mounts to is broken right under the bottom screw! It wouldn't normally be that big of a deal, but I'm away from home. Right now I'm in a temporary barracks room without a mailing address. I found a couple on ebay for a reasonable price but not sure how to get it here. I got some prices from the local autostores and they are outrageous ($277 and up) and still have to wait 2 days to get it. I got some J-B weld on the back of the plate as a temporary fix cause I'll need my car over the next couple days in order to eat and get around for inprocessing. Figured they would have a couple performance parts stores in the area since they have a dragstrip.
If anyone has any ideas post them up please.
