If it is the 1970 model, just tie a rope to the butterfly (on carburetor) where the cable connects, stretch all the way to the driver cabin 1 hand to steer, the other hand to throttle angle. grin


If it is the fuel injected model, remove batt (wait 5mins) put it back start car and try again. If it still does not work, scan vehicle
