I have found many vacuum hose problems ( one was made from garden hose, and the charcoal canister was in the rear trunk but still connected) and my airflow sensor has had the electrical cover removed and taped back on. It only sticks if I open it more than 3/4 open. Is this normal? Someone told me that I could tighten the spring to correct this as long as it moves smoothly. I also found a pair of small pliers in the throttle body. They where being used to keep the butterfly open. What kind of spring should be connected to the linkage on the throttle body? Mine appears to be a stretched out screen door spring.

This car was an Ebay special, but it will run again!!
