• So, I'm broken down on the side of the road, waiting for AAA to come tow me.. Just based on a first look, it seems my throttle lever linkage inside is broken.. I was on an uphill when suddenly power cut out.. The car starts and runs, just won't rev up.. Can I replace it with one from a 1.6 na pump I have lying around or is it time to send it to Giles ? Thanks!

• To clarify, it is the linkage part that attaches to the governor

• I saw a catalog of  maybe 100 VE pump inside throttle arms, so 'work'  might be  a relative term.  It needs to have the same  bushing height, and I think  same rotation as well.

• Yeah.. After looking at both pumps next to each other the 1.9 has a few more springs than the 1.6na one.. I'll be able to take it apart to see if it just came loose.

• Ok, the throttle arm is definitely broken.. I'll be contacting Giles on Monday.

• I'd weld it back together.
