Just to bring this back to life

The Kangaroing problem i am having is when i just tap the accelerator slightly when cruising down a hill, leav it for a bit and it's ok.

Any ideas what this could be, really doing my head in especially when coming down a hill and changing from third to second quickly bouncing like mad feel sick

make sure the throttle switch is closing when your off the accelerator

its a small micro switch on the throttle body where the cable connects to

you can hear it click when opening & closing when operatin the throttle by hand. engine dont need to be running either!

Thanks mate, I'll check it out

Ok, found the microswitch at the front and it does not click when the metal touchs it, if i push it with my fingure it does click!  So the switch is worn? Where can I get one of these, GSF?  and what does it do?

Could I put some tape arond the metal bit and raise it slightly with a very small nut where it touches the switch?

Cheers

is the throttle able to fully close then? try adjusting (loosening) the cable adjuster on the top of the throttle cable to see if that helps it

the switch itself aint really expensive to replace

[Deefadog]

Yes I think the throttle is fully closing as it stops, then the front part that hits the switch continues and stops against the thread, also if I pull the cable towards me there is no further movement!

I just rolled a small amount of foil into a ball and attached it to the front metal thing that touchs the switch with some tape, i lossed the cable slightly and it seems to be switching now! I know this will not last five minutes but it will tell me if this is the problem!

btw how far does the tiny switch stick out? as i said mine oes not extrud the plastic, huess it should really to work!

[Deefadog]

Just alittle update on this, if I get the kangarooing and I put my foot unde the accelerator and push it up it stops, huess it just making sure the micro switch is being pressed! 

Should I get a new accelerator cable aswell?

[Gambit]

id only change the accelerator cable if your current one is stiff/sticky - again they aint expensive and very easy to change.

check the prices for that microswitch, might be more expensive than i thought! getting a 2nd hand one might be an idea.

[Deefadog]

Thanks mate, is there an a pic of the micro switch available I could see, just to see if it does stick out more than mine?


Also how do you tell if the cable is sticky or not as I have no other one too compare against, i have stuck my head out of the door and pressed the accelerator and it is very responsive in time with the foot movement?

cheers
