Hi everyone,
I am currently having an issue with the throttle sticking on my 1987 FJ60. I had been driving the 60 a decent amount for the past few months with zero issues. Then I let it sit for a week or so and that seems to be when the problem started. The throttle stuck wide open on the highway and also wide open on a secondary road. In both cases, I shut the engine down and coasted to a stop.
I checked the linkage and I don't "think" there is a problem there. When the throttle is stuck, you can free it by pushing backwards on the throttle linkage. Based upon what I have observed, I assume that something is sticking inside of the carburetor.
What could be sticking inside of the carburetor that would case my issue? The carb was rebuilt back in 2009. Any ideas?
Thank you,
Zack
