It is ruining the otherwise enjoyable experience of driving this fun car.
The issue has been sneaking up gradually but has become quite unpleasant.
There is initial resistance every time I apply pressure to the accelerator pedal. Once I press it hard enough to activate, it is not a gentle progression of revs that builds relative to pedal pressure, but revs are initiated with a sudden jolt.
The throttle behaves normally once this initial 'hurdle' has been passed but is there again after each gearchange and is especially annoying when starting off from stationary.
I have :-
*lubed the throttle cable with silicone oil via a motorcycle cable oiler.
*used CRC throttle body cleaner and a rag and toothbrush to clean away most of the deposits of carbon in the throttle body.
My next attack will be to disconnect the cruise control cable that is piggy-backing on the throttle cable to see if this is the culprit. I can't think what else could be causing this problem.
Does anyone have any other ideas on what could be causing this and how to fix the problem?
