Repsol Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 My throttle keeps getting stiff. Like it normally would have play in it, like it's soft. Now it'll go from the soft, then it will just like take a crap on me and it's like 7x harder to push in. Does anybody know what this problem would be?

Hatch92 Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 prolly dirt or something got into the cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repsol Posted July 22, 2007 Author Share Posted July 22, 2007 Know of a way to take it off and clean it? Or just clean it while it's on there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kegger Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Shoot some wd-40 on the bitch, it'll loosen up. Or scoot your floormats back a little bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 Don't feel bad bud. At least you can still drive yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted July 22, 2007 Share Posted July 22, 2007 While you're cleaning off your throttle cable tighten it up so it's not soft anymore. Nothing like a freshly tightened throttle cable to make your car feel like a brand new baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repsol Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Lol, I hate a stiff pedal. I'll try the WD40, thanks guys. Updates on if it works or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Repsol Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Well. The WD-40 didn't work... :( I don't know what the problem is. It started like a day or 2 after I put my exhaust on. At first I thought it was because I didn't have an O2 sensor. I bought a new one, and it still has stiff. It always seems to be something. Why couldn't I get a sol like yours John? :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang_eater12 Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 Shoot some wd-40 on the bitch, it'll loosen up. Or scoot your floormats back a little bit. or as kegan should know you should put grafite down the entire cable. also make sure that the throttle plate is movin freely, if not then wd-40 it.

Repsol Posted July 30, 2007 Author Share Posted July 30, 2007 I have so many things to fix in my car it's not even funny. :( New Glove box, new seats (rain is pretty much ruining them), weather stripping, mostly bullcrap that gets on your nerves.
