0 Viltor Posted February 10, 2016 Author Share Posted February 10, 2016 Good morning everyone, My problem seems fixed. My friend lub'ed the TB spring with some WD40, thightned the TB cable and we adjusted the TPS to 0.45 at idle. my car seems to run smoothly now. Thanks everyone 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 ickis86 Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 you'll have to have a fiddle with the mechanism, check the cables adjusted properly etc. Its hard to come up with a fix without looking at it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Chandler Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 sticky throttle cable by the sounds of it mate. keep working the pedal and get some WD-40 down it I recon, the cable not the throttle body Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 KiNK43 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Just a case of checking everything is free. Possible you may have installed the cable just a little tight there should be a little bit of slack enough to allow the throttle to return closed.
