Throttle pedal weirdness ?

[itavaltalainen]

yeah it does have motorised throttle.. the cable should only connected up to the potentiometer and not physically connected to the throttle i think.

I have the 1.8 AAM


It will work fine I bet and you can manually pull the cable and the car revs just fine...i have a feeling that this is a computer issue for some reason...probably caused by the ECU getting info and then adjusting on it's own???I can't eplain it any other way really...and probably caused by some sort of leak somewhere...

I used to burn just 6.8l/100km but this has gone up over the last two years and now I burn around 8.5-9l/100km...city driving is a killer for me now... yay!  I will be changing the dizzy cap, rotor and new leads..but I feel that the problem will still persist..

I get the smell of fuel from time to time coming through the vents...hope this is not happening to yourself...:)and not all the time but when i deaccelerate or accelerate quite quickly...(yay!)

Anyways i am only in Ascot so you are not far and maybe if you want we can meet  up and try to solve the problem somehow. as we both have the same concern....maybe we can find a common fault on both vehicles and that may be the cause!

As always get it on a code reader, you can calibrate the Tb with vag com if its that.
Until then everything is just speculation

8.5-9l/100km not actually bad for city driving, when i drive it in my city - short trips only i get it up to 13 i kid you not.... on the motorway i easily get it down to 7 or even 6l/100km in "lorry" mode @ 55-60mph...

since you got petrol smell check the flange, part 12 in this image:

yeah i've changed the injection flange mount as it was leaking badly...the problem has moved to somewhere else now...i will order the vagcom off of ebay and see how it goes...
i cannot see the picture you put up on my computer...

[itavaltalainen]

12 is the injection unit flange. would also check the wiring, pull the plug insulation back, maybe a wire is broken?

So your doing 8.5-9l over 100km so is about (60miles) when I'm doing 7.6l to 60miles /100km


Yea would be good at some poin after new year .
Sure we could compare parts and find something !

When I get back to work (Toyota main dealer) on Wednesday ill run vagcom and see what codes I have .

[Jasikasisback]

yeah i have tried that and cleaning all of the electrical plugs...i will get the vagcom and see what it shows...
