I just bought a 4dr from my neighbor, which i think is in mint condition(Visual Wise). Only problem is that the Accelerator is broken or something. it is like always being pushed down. my friend and i took a look at it. he said that something is wrong with the sping(coil) that is located on the TB. What can this problem be? I already searched, didnt find much at all.

Will i be able to fix this? as a DIY?

Oh, also when i turned on the car, the car almost shot out of the garage. LOL! almost hit a fence and bushes, doing so i snapped my alternator belt.

any ideas on what to do or how can i fix this?

 

have you tried adjusting the throttle cable? if it's adjusted too high then that car will be constantly given higher amounts of gas.

 

naw i didnt try it, but the stuff is like rusted on, the car has been sitting there for 3 years. i forgot to mention that, But i dont have to step on the gas pedal for anything because it is litterally being held down ALL THE TIME, when it is off or on.

 

any other ideas guys?

 

TTT. somebody?

 

do this first, there's a bracket on the intake manifold where the throttle cable routes to with a nut at the end, adjust there!!11111111111

 

If your gas pedal is always pressed down..then the throttle cable is too tight.

 

lmao mike, if u know it then why don't u do it for me so i can use my car? LOL


aight ima try all that tonite see if it works.

how would i loosen the cable?

 

wd-40 spray some on everything

 

Wd-40 like he said or Pb blaster, spray a squirt and give it a budge with a little wrench, i think it's either a 10'mm or 12'mm, can't remember.

the cable couldnt have been too tight coz the gas pedal isnt even pressed down, in fact it's too loose

 

Post a pic up or 2, to let us know the problem better.

lmao mike, just sit in the car 2morrow and u'll see. u can start it up and it will ****** zoom off.

 

get a new throttle body if its that rusted. and why did you shoot across the yard? just leave it in neutral

 

the throttle cable rotor is really rusty yo you can eat off it

 

lmao, at taht time i didnt know of this. so i had it in gear, and when i started the car up, i shoot across the ally. i had to slam on ebrake and brake and turn off the car asap, i snapped my alternator belt during this process also.
