Hi folks, I've had an issue for a long time that I've been trying to figure out.
My vehicle is a '60 TR3A. When I brake even slightly hard, the rpms drop way down, even to the point of stalling sometimes. This only happens when the car is warming up, or on a cool day when the engine doesn't get quite as warm.
I suspect a throttle linkage issue because if I lift the accelerator pedal with my foot instead of pressing it I get a very similar symptom. I've been through the entire linkage. All the ball joints are good. I saw another thread about play in the bell crank, and I have a bit of that, but not too bad.
Is it possible that the car is flexing when braking? This might have the same effect as lifting up the accelerator.
Any ideas?
