sticking Revs
« on: 08 April 2010, 23:02 »
Anybody ever come across this before?
When i change gear on my mk3 16v gti, the revs seem to stay up in the air for a few seconds...maybe 2-3secs then, they come down but slowly??
Any ideas? :laugh:

sticking throttle cable
stretched throttle cable
gummed up throttle body

try lubing the throttle cable up and cleaning the throttle body with carb cleaner, good cheap place to start
