#13239, "Any ideas??"


          

OK all... try not to laugh too hard. I decided I was going to tighten my throttle cable because there was a awful large amount of slack in it. So I go to loosen one of the bolts holding it in place. I turned it MAYBE a half turn and snapped the head off. Now common sense should tell me to stop there and not fook with it, but there I go for the second bolt.. same result. So now I have two broken bolts and my throttle cable is just dangling there.. obviously not driveable emoji
What are my options here?? Oh yeah, I need this to get to work in the morning LOL

uhh... tie a string to the throttle body and... uhh.... run the string through the passenger side window.... uhh... whenever you want to gas it, just give the string a yank.

(I do not advise this... you need to replace the scrwews)

Ok I got one of the bolts drilled out but the threads are a mess. I need to retap it to get something to thread down in there. I can at least drive it now. BTW I tried that string idea... its ok as long as you arent racing emoji
