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 |

One other place that a 75 can stick. Look at the small cut out on the air box for the end of the lever on the throttle body shaft. It's only about an 1/8" cut out and hard to see. How do I know???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
