Sounds like your cable broke.

Classic.  Your amplifier needs resoldering.

Spotty vent control?  Either cracked vacuum diaphragms, or
bad solder joints in the ACC pushbutton array.

Advance the timing a bit?  Check brakes for dragging.  Make
sure there aren't any fuel leaks.  Change fuel and air filters.

Kleb?  Local U-Pull?
