Accelerator has always seemed tight, like it takes 2x the foot pressure than it should.
Throttle body does not seem sticky, but could it be a really stiff spring, or is the cable just tight/gunked up? it is a 75 2.0 and i have had it for 1 year, no idea if it has ever been replaced. another thing, though, If engine is warm, been running for several hours, and i go to stop, clutch and let off accelerator cable, it is slow to decelerate. I do not see this just much just drving to work in the morning(20 min). How hard is it to run a new accelerator cable? Phil |

Phil Hey Phil, It could be hung up some where in the tunnel (IMG:style_emoticons/default/hissyfit.gif) . If I only owned the car a year I would probably be inclined to change the throttle, clutch and speedo cables. I have had oustanding results (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) with Teri cables for the clutch and throttle as I have had these in my daily driver for more than ten years. I will be replacing all my cables this month,this way I know the age of all my cables. The cost is apporx. $110 thru Pelican. |
