Hey all -
Well, one step forward, two steps back. I timed the truck this morning using the super awesome timing kit rented out by icanfixall (Gary). Worked splendidly, btw. But, while trying to get a wrench on some of the injector lines at the IP to get a bit more movement out of the pump, I snagged the throttle cable and snapped the plastic sleeve inside that the spring rides on, so now it binds. Talked to Gary about it and tried to get creative with some homegrown fixes, but the plastic is just so brittle that it all started falling apart.
Seeing how this is a pretty safety-critical item, I'm gonna bite the bullet and replace it. Not messing around with aftermarket, either. So, can someone confirm the OEM PN for me? I've found two. First is E9TZ-9A758-U. Second is F1TZ-9A758-E, which I found in the Parts Bin. If it makes a difference, the truck is a 5-speed with cruise control.

On the plus side, at least I got the timing done, lol! Was 3 degrees BTDC. Now is 8-8.5 (@ 2000RM).
