Accelerator sticking.





On my valver.

only sometimes, but its starting to happen more often...

I can usually get it back to normal by blipin the throttle but sometimes it doesnt go.

has anyone else experienced this, if so how did you sort it out.

It better be mechanical stickage and not any ECU b****cks.:mad:

I might just try running some WD40 down the cable


any info or help ??!?!

cheers TriO

check that your car mat is not getting stuck under the pedal, sounds silly but could cause it to be sticking!!!!

lol how mad is that?! "I TOLD U SO" ;). hope u get it fixed soon m8! and cheaply! dont think it cost me too much TBH
 


It took me 5 f**kING HOURS to change the throttle cable !!!!!
My hands are absolutlely shredded :(

its in the gayest place ever and unless youve got micro, T-rex hands its gonna be a pain in the arse to change...

Of course renault didnt sell just a replacement (inner) cable, you have to buy the whole bit

to get any open space to put the new gromet in the footwell etc.. youd have to remove the brake lines behind the exhaust manifold...

well, basically the gromets turned out to be too big and hard to get in, after cocking about for about 3 hours i decided to wack the old ones in and finally got it done...

the Haynes manual sopke nothing about all of this as per usuall,

Renault dont think about how hard it will be to replace parts when they die, they only design things so its easy for them to construct first time round...

This happens so many times when I change things!!!

I HATE Renault with a passion :mad:


but I love my valver to bits :D

/queues lots of people telling me its a piss easy job....

next time Id just buy a piece of cable and fix my own thing on the end to secure it i think instead of faffing about with the outer cable ect / rant over

TriO :D

ive got small hands mate...u got something in mind for me :p
 


clutch and accelerator cables are half hour jobs.. u just need to have owned a valver for a few years to know how! its all in the method!
 


heh ok mate. As i said before, Id be tempted to make my own cable next time just to save some hassle...

It would have been probably been easier with another person helping and would be piss if you could actually get 2 hands on the gromet...

Oh well
