Recall on Throttle cable/ starting trouble

[nopowerforme]

I am happy to say that Daimler Chrysler did decide to reimburse me for having this work done before the dealers got the recall notice. I recieved word that they will be sending me out a check.



On a down note... . This morning after my truck had been sitting fir a week or so Each time I tried to start it... it would start but as soonas I let go of the key it would Die... I finally had to hold the throttle down a little bit before it would keep running.

After a 40 minute ride I shut it off 15 min later it did the same thing and again I had to apply a little throttle before it would catch.



Other than that it runs fine and idles ok at a light.



ANY IDEAS OUT THERE WHAT IT COULD BE?





Thanks

The idle is probably too low. I don't know why but these things seem to need the idle set up a little every so often.

Hard Starting

In the last week I have noticed my idle speed is about 500 RPM and after it sits a while it is also hard to start also. In the next week I am planning on taking my pickup to the dealer to have the Throttle cable recall fixxed, would the cable have anything to do with this?

thanks,

The throttle cable should have nothing to do with idle speed or hard starting. 500 RPM is too low. Should be at least 700.
