993 throttle

[sleep envy]

having adjusted the pedal I'm still not entirely happy with it but one thing I have noticed is that the action is in two stages

at first it's very light and then the last 40% gets noticably 'heavier'

is this normal?

[clubsport]

No...but I think you knew that.

[sleep envy]

I've got a feeling someone's buggered about with the pedal in a major way

[tertius]

I do think there is a sort of "step" in the pedal travel though - I think its to do with the way the linkage has about 15 different joints - but about halfway down there is a sort of "hump" in the travel - is this what you are feeling?

OK, but I think its transient - ie the travel is the same before and after the "step" its just the step itself that is different.

Btw, the 'ring trip was awesome - you should have come along ...

You should never let amateur mechanics lose on Porsches finest ever incarnation of the marque

Have you checked the cable is not kinked or obstructed anywhere...long way back to the engine.

Start at the pedal box,,,check cable can move freely, maybe grease it a bit there,,,check for kinks and obstructions under body, particularly where it turns up to go to the engine....if you lean over with a torch you can see the throttle cable and spring behind the ISV on the back of the inlet manifold...maybe squirt a bit of wd there for the sake of it....good luck

Hmmm... will need to check out another lhd 993...

[fingersinears]I'm not listening, la la la la la la la la

glad you had a good time - 3 weddings and a holiday this summer are taking their toll
