Carina E Sticky Accelerator

Hi all,

Recently purchases a second-hand Toyota Carina E (1997).

Great family car.

The only problem I have had with the car is that from time-to-time, the accelarator becomes a little sticky. Can happen sometimes when changing down gears for example, when you then hit the accelerator, it feels stiff and you have to press down quite hard on it. Can be disconcerting in traffic. Anyone any ideas on what this may be? Gonna bring into a garage but don't want to be robbed.

Regards,

Paul.

The throttle body and linkage just needs removing and cleaning thats all, once thats done it should be fine.

Thanks for that!

At least when I go to my garage, I'll appear to know what I'm talking about. Sounds like a straight-forward enough operation!

Thanks again for your help.

Paul.
