While driving I punched the accerator pedal to merge onto a fast moving hiway. Once in lane I pulled back on the pedal but the car continued to rev up and would not respond to the pedal. I turned off the ignition and roled off on to the shoulder. I jiggled the pedal a couple of times and restarted it - the engine still reved out. Shut it down and opened the hood. looked at the throtle cable and couldn't see anythng odd. Had the wife push the pedal a couple of times and saw the cable move. Got back in restarted and it's now OK. Been that way for a few days. Don't know what I did to fix it but it's just fine now. Any ideas? Is a lubricant required?

My 98 OBW takes 13.7 gal to full once the light comes on "full". Been like that for 134K miles and many fillups. You can ge the light to come a bit earlier if your on a hill or a tight turn like on an exit ramp but it will shut off once your stabilized. Once the light comes on full I look for a gas station.

Crutchfield will show you only those which fit your car. As well as the code probably an "I" or "J" http://www.crutchfield.com You will probably need to buy the wire harness and connect it to the radio's supplied harness for any of them. They might try to sell you a special installation kit to eliminate the "box" under the radio (at least for my 98 OB). I don't know if your's will need it. I t hink mine won't

Thanks a bunch - Goodyear is marked "5/16 fuel injection". Suggest also changing out the clamps as the old ones come apart and you could loose the "nut" end (happened to me). And another trip to the auto parts store. Let the engine cool way down before you start as you will loose some gas when you remove the old hoses. This will flow down onto the engine and could burn.

I had the same problem with my '98 OB (135K miles) except I never got the AT light flash. I found that the transmission cooling lines to the radiator were basically clogged (very little flo) and that there was some crud on some of the spinning parts of the tranny. Cleaned the lines and replaced the fluid a couple of times and added an in-line oil filter from an older SUBY. I know that starting in '99 they started using a spin on cartridge filter but in my case the extra filter has kept the tranny working great for almost three years

There are several OBDII readers that allow you to see the performance of each sensor. The one they use at Autozone only outputs the problem code. I think the one from Harrison let's you see the indivdual sensor. BTW try and reset the computer and see if it goes away. My '98 threw the code after I went through a puddle. Reset the ECU and it went away - it's been 2 years.
