    Mk2,Ph1 Cable Accelerator/ Throttle up and down like a yo-yo

    172 PH 1 accelerator cable snap ... replace tips

    So- cleaned the ICV, and the car definitely better. However, not cured methinks. When idling at lights its sometimes as high as 1500 rpm or 1250 rpm, then drops and steadies at 1000rpm after about 2-3 seconds. When changing down (the in neutral split second) seems quite low on revs too which is...

    172 PH 1 accelerator cable snap ... replace tips

    Right- found a couple photos on this site confirming where the ICV is. Disconnected the pipe with the ICV on the end. It looked all carbonned up, so gave it a good clean with carb cleaner. Still do the inmlet tract with the engine running?

    It seems a bit different, very slightly twitchy at rear, but havent driven hard yet. Could always take them off when putting track wheels on i suppose.

    Ph1 Throttle Cable Replacement...help and advice

    Got all these issues my self and working thru them. Throttle body removal and clean for me on my day off tomorrow. TB spring looks well grubby even after squirting cleaner spray and WD. Gonna get an enlarged throttle body as a spare too.

    Would it be better handling wise to put my 20mm on the front and get some 10mm for the back? In the past ive always put bigger spacers on the rear as a) it looks better imo b) it usually adds more stability when cornering with a wider rear wheel spacing. Or go for 20mm all round?

    172 PH 1 accelerator cable snap ... replace tips

    ^Thanks. Have now changed the internal steel cable (As first one snapped) and lubed it, lubed with spray where the accelerator cable enters the vehicle near the pedal. Certainly better, i thought almost cured at one stage. Then the intermittent revving between 1 and 2 k returned. So, cleaned...
