oil metering rod stuck open
I was working on my car when my friend Matt (who is a member of this club) noticed that when my throttle is pulled open past half my oil metering rod doesn't snap back it just sticks open. What effects to my engine will this cause. I'm guessing it's been like this since i bought the car. My oil pressure levels from 30-60 which seems pretty good to me. What do you guys think?

My car failed the e-test because the rod was stuck.
It was actually the rod on the MOP that was the problem. From under the car I took the spring off and lubricated the mechanism really well, worked it open and closed for about 20 minutes and then put the spring back on. It works like new now.

Clean the area the rod attaches to the throttle body and metering oil pump. Lots of gunk likes to build up. This area should be dry of all oil as oil will attract dirt and stuff.
