Ph1 throttle body fix (Ghetto!)

[ForceIndia]

No responsibility for your engine blowing up or you crashing into a school.
My throttle body spring seems to have broken, so idling at 2k etc, similar issue to a few other people. Rigged this up today, basically using a couple of springs to close the throttle body the final 1-2mm.

Attached the spring to the throttle body using cable tie.

Seems to have done the trick, idle is now back to normal, so should do short term.

Spring problem. Common as on the ph1's.

Something seriously wrong if your TB's that dirty its opening the TB enough to sit at 1500 rpm!

Just got a proper, working TB back on. The ghetto fix works, but it's nice to have a normal throttle weight again tbh!!

I've got loads of spare springs if anyone is doing this, just pm me if you want some free.

Just got a normal working TB on, much better! The ghetto fix works, but the throttle gets a bit heavy.
