Re: [Chrysler300] 70 300

You hooked up and adjusted the throttle linkage, I hope.Did you replace the 
pump bushing while it was apart?, sounds like you don,t have enough 
pressure because the either the pump has a problem or the throttle pressure 
valve isn't working. It would be best to hook up a pressure gauge and check 
for enough pressure, you'll smoke the friction elements in just a few miles 
if you run it that way.
