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 |

I just did mine yesterday. first you have to unhook from the pedal , then the carb. Jack up the car, you will see the tunel, just pull it out. push the new one into the tunel and attach back on both ends. I would also check the spring on the carbs to make sure that they are not putting to much pressure on the pedal. |
