x300 Throttle Body Issues
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
Hey all,
So, I think I may have throttle body issues on my car (96 naturally aspirated straight six), but I just wanted to confirm. Occasionally I would be starting up the car (particularly in cold damp weather) and the accelerator peda; would be stiff, and it wouldn't rev the engine. I would then have to tap the throttle, usually once or twice, for it to resume normal operation. But then today, as I was driving, the pedal got stiff again and it stopped revving, which proved to be a bit scary, given I was driving on the road at the time. I pulled off to a gas station, popped the hood, and was able move the throttle body by hand. That allowed me to limp my kitty home.
When pressing the accelerator pedal and moving the cable by hand, there is a noticeable stiffness, but for whatever reason, if tap the pedal a few times, the engine will rev. Does it sound like I need a throttle body cleaning or is something more serious at play?
Thanks
