ya when i start it and it revs up, i can push the throttle and it will go higher.
also, i had the throttle cable recall fixed just a couple months ago.
i haven't tried pulling the linkage off yet, but when i get some time i will do that.
my 3gsk is a kit i got from city diesel, so it is springs and everything.

 

ok i popped off my linkage today, and nothing. so i think its probably internal? could it be fuel pressure problem or something?

 

Pull the governor spring and put the stockers back in place if you have them. If not, loosen them up a few clicks and try it then. It sounds just like the problem I was having with my 98 a few weeks ago, the shop I had do the timing left a piece of a seal in the pump that wedge itself into the outer spring, it idled at 1300rpm and would hang up slightly at higher RPMs.

 

i went to put my stock springs back in, and i found out that i no longer know where the dang things are. so i just backed off the springs a few clicks and i don't think it really did anything.
so i called a local diesel shop and the guy said he thinks my pump needs to be rebuilt. he said something about the barrel and plungers, and something about o rings sticking. does that sound right?
another thing, he told me it would be about 1200 for the pump, plus 350 for install, i can't exactly afford that now so i think im gonna pull the pump my self. i was wonderring if anyone had some ideas on good places to get a pump?
