Here I am reading your message laughing... *FINALLY* I know more than Ray!
Finally!  I'm laughing because you don't know what you're talking about.
The throttle is in the front on both and the ascd is in the rear on both.
Ray's wrong.  But, I decided to wait till I checked to write anything.
D'oh, I'm wrong!

So, that said, I'm fairly certain that this is the problem.  I remember
looking at that little nub on the ASCD 'drum' that catches the throttle
and thinking it looked bent.  I took a pair of pliers and started at it.
I think 'realized' that this was a stupid idea and that I'd screw
something up so I abandoned the idea.  Plus, someone bending that piece of
metal seemed impossible with as little as it was budging with pliers.
Well, guess I either have to pry it or buy a new one.  Well, first I need
to look and compare the two cars and see if that really is the problem.

To me, it seems properly adjusted.  the more I look at and think of this,
the more frustrated I get :/  I'm getting so damned close though!
