A_redstone Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Hello Managed to get the car out and about on the road today, it's stopped raining for a change ! However I have noticed it's developed a problem with acceleration , when I get up to 60mph + and I take my foot off the accelerator the car keeps on going faster / staying at same speed ! ...it also means hen I change up then It revs to the limiter. Anyone can help me on this please ? Thanks Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaterBram Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 probably a sticking throttle cable, may be just gunged up or rust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 May be frayed cable inside outer .... disconnect and see if it moves freely. Check throttle pedal pivot too .... may need lubricating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 If revs rise .... check no air leaks on inlet side ..... split air hoses, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_redstone Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Thanks will check all of this when I can see it in daylight ... All advice gratefully received Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 If you have a plastic inlet .... check the air filter jubilee clip is not too tight .... it can distort the plastic body and trap the butterfly. Easily done ...and easily solved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A_redstone Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I have fiddled about at the weekend and whilst I don't feel I have done anything much after a test drive I was unable to replicate the problem from last week ! Ho hum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stationary M25 Traveller Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 The power of BlatChat However ...... worrying that you haven't found anything ... so maybe intermittent ... and may return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
