Kangaroing and wiggly pipes help

[Gambit]

if the accelerator cable has a smooth movment from fully open to full closed then i wouldnt bother changing it.

dont have a pic of the microswitch sorry

Thanks mate!

I'll get on to this ASAP when my car comes back from the garage (fnally getting those valve stem seals replaced)

Can you not just bend the metal tab that presses the switch down out a bit?

[Deefadog]

Can't bend it as if you put anything flat against it it does not contact I may put some rubber glue on to the switch itself which should extend it out a bit! just getting some decent stuff that will last will be the prob

[Deefadog]

Switch is 'switching' all the time now thanks to my mod but it don't seem to stop the kangarooing, I'll test the resistance on them as another forum member reccomended just to see if it is doing it's job.


If the switch is fine, what else could be causing the kangarooing, really annoying now

Like I said before it's like the car is about to cut out as if it's running out of petrol when my foot is off the accelerator, maybe some fuel filter problem?

Ok, I just came back from the tuning place, the timing was well off and CO was low, all sorted.

...so I thought

The kangarooing is still there...

....and know my old problem has come back, in any gear (mainly first and second) when the revs are between idle and 2000rpm the car stuters like hell, then as soon as the it get's over 2000 the car take off like it should!

I guess the over timing was hiding this problem

I am really at the end of my teather now! What else could cause both these symptoms?

Really feel like selling it now or just scraping it!
