Do a search for that. Some of us experienced that and has found answer by searching.

Check your engine air filter. Sounds like it might be clogged up and your engine might not be getting sufficient air to run properly.

also check your throttle cable. I ve seen so many damn loose throttle cables it sickening. It may not be the problem, but its always good to have it set right.

your gonna have to take a picture of this....saying there's a marking doesn't help us. to check it you see how much play is in the line. Shouldn't be droopy loose, or g-stri*g tight... sorry for the analogy, i couldn't think of anything else.

Lol g string tight.

Op, get a friend and have him slowly press the gas pedal as you look at the throttle cable rotate the thottle plate. If you see the cable moving and the plate isn't then you have to adjust it tighter. You will see a bracket holding the throttle cable sandwiched between two nuts.

Loosen the nuts and adjust accordingly. The throttle plate should begin to rotate as the pedal is being pushed.
