Hi, I have a 1991 Ford F-350 with a 7.3 Liter IDI. The throttle cable on my DB2 Injection Pump will not retract back to the normal Idle RPMs unless I push on the twisty thing on the pump. Does anyone know what causes this problem?

try taking the twisty thing out and see if you can get a new one or buy a new pump

Sounds like you're missing the return spring, or it's broken.  Check to see if its there or missing/broken.

Get a new spring and also get some WD-40. Spray and work the linkage with the engine off. Then grease the linkage with some white lithium grease.

Warning !!!! I have an opinion and I am not afraid to use it !!!!!!
