Another sticky throttle pedal

[William]

Any ideas how to free the pedal up a bit, its not sticking at all, just harder to press than my previous one. How do you replace the pedal (its breaking off at the base where it hinges). Is it a case of greasing TB or the pedal mechanism or what?

thanks

I think u need to replace the throttle cable, its cheap from gsf or euro parts that should get it right.

throttle cable is cheap enuf from stealers too mate. try going for a refurb on the throttle system - probably improve responce a load too

try opening the throttle (under the bonnet) by hand, if thats not too stiff etc then the problem is likely the cable

thanks everybody will give it a go. I guess for the sake of a tenner its probably worth replacing the throttle cable anyway on a car you know nothing about really.

scott, when you say a refurb on the throttle system, what do you mean?
