Keith C Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Last night I noticed a couple of things off with the car, and was hoping for some advice. 1. When I lift off the throttle, it takes about another second before the throttle seems to close - so when I change gear it's as if I'm blipping the throttle between changes... but I'm not. It's actually done this noticeably on a previous journey earlier in the week, even when fully warm. 2. I also noticed on my boost gauge that at idle from cold I was only going down to about -0.5 bar. It was just a quick 10 minute collection from the station, so the car never really got warmed up, but it never dropped below about -0.65 - it's usually closer to -0.9 on idle and overrun. Could this be down to a sticky throttle in some way? A tired old spring maybe? Cheers anyone that can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digsy Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 The throttle on my NA started to stick after it had bene stood up, but it would stick shut. A good clean out with some meths on a rag removed all the breather deposits and cured it. The closing spring should be pretty stiff, though. I'm surprised it is sticking open.

Tricky-Ricky Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Could also be an air/vacuum leak, check all the small vac hoses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
