liang9 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 Hi everyone, When I start my car in P, engine rev is at 0, there is battery icon, oil pressure icon, check engine icon, I can't depress the gas paddle. If I turn my key and depress gas paddle slightly, i can keep rev, as soon as I remove my foot, rev go to 0 and I can't depress gas again. And when I put in my key without turning the key, there is a noise under the hood. Can anyone tell me what is wrong? Thank you very much!

djspawn00 Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 I'm not really sure what you're saying here... is the engine not turning over at all? Does the car start or does it sounds like it wants to start but doesn't? Are you just getting clicking? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liang9 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 thanks, it starts like normal, but engine is not revolving at 1000rpm or so, it is at 0rpm, so can't move, seem like no fuel pumping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liang9 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 red circle is where noise come from when I insert my key without turning just insert. blue circle is a kind loose cable connect to red circled part.

The blue circle is where the throttle position cable connects. If this cable is broken or not adjusted it may exhibit the symptoms that you describe. Adjustment manual indicates the cable should be adjusted so that there is some slack with very little movement. Take black plastic cover off of red circle and check adjustment of blue circle. At blue circle there should be two adjustment nuts. each of the nuts will be on either side of the bracket and on cable. Loosen the one closest to the drivers side of the vehicle(your right facing engine). Turn the nut closest to the passenger side (The left facing engine) of the vehicle until all the slack is out of the cable then tighten the nut on the drivers side of the bracket. After you complete this, disconnect your battery cable for 15minutes to clear out all codes, reconnect and test drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liang9 Posted October 29, 2008 Author Share Posted October 29, 2008 Thanks SRVCM, tried tighten the cable, seem the Cruise Control Actuator is malfunction, I guess the noise is the problem, thinking about replacing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
