Default Throttle cable
Just put a new throttle cable in the 90. I was told about a throttle position sensor? Any answers?

Actually, now that I think about it, since you have the converted LT1 intake I don't think you have an adjustable TPS.

All day I was thinking that because I am missing alot of L98 parts that the tps was not there. I believe you are correct I wonder if the cable is just stiff????

So what is the problem?
Changing a throttle cable ( only) should have no effect on the TPS setting

When I push the pedal it is stiff and I break loose the tires. If I just put my foot on the pedal it will go normal. Seems like there isn't any play or area to accelerate that is smooth.
