The throttle lever pinch bolt has probably slipped, Rich.   There is an =
adjustment procedure in the workshop manual for setting clearance.  =
I=E2=80=99ll send that to you in a separate email.

I recently changed the exhaust manifolds on my BJ8 and had to disconnect =
the lever for access.  When I got it back together, it worked fine until =
I was about 250 miles from home, then I suddenly felt the same symptoms =
you are having.  I loosened the pinch bolt and rotated the throttle =
lever a bit, and problem solved (actually, the pedal was a little TOO =
sensitive).  I did the final adjustment procedure when I got home.

The gas pedal on my BJ8 has to travel about 1 1/2 inches before the =
engine responds with increased rpms. Is there some way of adjusting it =
so that the engine responds instantly to depressing the pedal? Thanks =
for any suggestions.
