My throttle pedal is quite stiff. Reading up on past posts it seems like it's worth lubricating the butterfly. Is this the best thing to try or could be it be something else? And if so, where is it? ________________________________________ 2006 Performance Blue Mondeo ST TDCI1999 Black 306 Rallye 1991 Lazer Green 205 1.9 GTi 2003 Blue Focus RS 1999 White 306 Rallye 1992 Red 205 1.9 GTi 1988 Red 205 1.6 GTi |

If you buy a new one, you could get away with just swapping over the inner wire and lubricate it.________________________________________ S Reg Diablo standardsSpec SORNEDR Reg Nile standard spec written off then repaired X Reg Astor in need of TLC R Reg Nile to restore Set of Lions to fit. |

Unhook the cable from the throttle body completly and feed 3n1 oil down the cable while working the inner in and out should free up a lightly clogged cable, if it doesn't free it up within a couple of minutes then hang it up on the underside of the bonnet to let it work its way down - you could also try throwing some on the pedal pivot but will be awkward.As far as the butterfly goes if it has some baked on crude on the outer edge of the butterfly then it will drag through its movement - a scrub with carb cleaner will remove it  ________________________________________ Cad Monkey will work for chocolate biscuits....I'm not kidding |
