Ok guys, I have a question...I may be on to something. Can the throttle cable "stretch"? I noticed some "play" in the cable at idle, and we kept saying it was sounding like maybe the "butterfly" was closed too much and choking it out. So I took a piece of vacuum hose and sliced it down the center and put it over the accelerator cable (so that there was more tension from the get-go). And wala.....the car starts without me having to put my foot on the gas and idles beautifully (just under 1k), smooth and quiet. Now, obviously this is a "band-aid", but could it be the throttle cable? What else could be the "real" problem? Please see attached picture for the temp solution.
