Tamora Accelerator Issues

[Pursyluv]

Need a bit of advise regarding an issue that started about 9 months ago.

Not always, but on occasions I'm having difficulty depressing the accelerator - the problem arises mainly if I'm accelerating, lift off and coast, then try to accelerate again the pedal won't depress at the first attempt, it takes 2 or 3 attempts to get the pedal down.

I don't think it's a cable/linkage issue as I had these replaced/checked/greased about 12 months ago following a couple of incidents when the accelerator pedal remained depressed after hard acceleration.

Any thoughts gratefully received

Have you checked the throttle bodies & their linkages? Can you simulate the fault when static just by pressing the accelerator? if so do it with the bonnet up with the airbox off and a volunteer to press the loud pedal whilst you watch what is going on with the throttle bodies.


I am sure you would have spotted it but you're not catching your foot on the panel that should be velcroed in place by the pedal that houses the ECU?

Don't think I'm catching anything in the footwell, I reckon you're right and it's something to do with the throttle body linkage, I'll have a look when I get chance, cheers Andy
