So I finally got my BJ40 back from the body shop. Drove her home, parked, then got back in her to go to the gym.
Got out of the gym about an hour later, hopped in and cranked. Cranking cranking cranking, no catching. Then I noticed no exhaust during the cranking either, a definite new development.
Looked under the hood and saw that the cable working the throttle had some slack in it. Got my girl to crank while I moved the throttle myself and voila! Vroooom.
Drove home normally but when I tried to start again, same problem - slack in that cable.
Do you think the cable/housing needs to be lubed (if so with what), any other ideas for what could have happened? She has pretty much been sitting for 5 months, I don't think anything was done to the throttle by the body shop.
Observations? Experiences?
