Known issues on the 1985 Citation II. One recall is recorded against this model year. Interference between the throttle body case and the throttle linkage can make the linkage bind, leaving the throttle held open after the driver releases the accelerator pedal. A single owner complaint, against the seat belts, is the only other entry. Both areas are service subjects here: the throttle body and its linkage have removal, adjustment and inspection procedures with specifications, and the restraint system is covered along with the rest of the body, so a technician has something to check against rather than guess.
THE THROTTLE LINKAGE MAY BIND BECAUSE DURING NORMAL OPERATION, THE THROTTLE BODY CASE MAY INTERFERE WITH THE LINKAGE. THIS INTERFERENCE COULD PREVENT THE THROTTLE FROM CLOSING EVEN
THE DEALER WILL INSPECT VEHICLES AND IMPROVE THE CLEARANCE BETWEEN THE ACCELERATOR LINKAGE
THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT WAS INSTALLED WRONG LY. *AK
