It's carb cleaner, but here in Weymouth where there is a fishing port, we have problems with fishy air, so Carp cleaner seems to work better than Carb cleaner

Today and yesterday my car (1.8 exec) started being strange - in any gear, the first bit of travel (few mm, the amount you need to cruise at 50!)on the gas pedal would make the car feel like it is engine braking, so much so it makes me move forward slighty - push the pedal a bit more (again, a few mm) and the car jerks me back and off it goes normally. What the #@$% is going on?!?!? |

Sounds like your butterfly valve is coked up. Take the throttle body off and give the butterfly valve and surrounding area a good scrub with a stiff plastic bush. Mark |

That's the plate that opens and closes on the inlet right? is it easy to get apart? I've noticed that it's been making a clinking noise when i've let off full throttle to change gear - at least i think its that.... |

Yep - very easy. You might want to undo the top of the airbox (of undo the bracket for your induction kit) and the head cover vent pipe, then just undo the four nuts/bolts and it comes apart. Mark |

Yeah same thing with mine buy some carp cleaner in a spray can and spray it into the throttle body around the buterfly use a toothbrush to get the real hard stuff off after that start engine get the revs up about 1500 or so and spray some up through the air intake but after the filte. good luck.. |

Carp cleaner is very strong and will get rid of all the crap trust me it works a treat...... it is oil and crabon build up around the buterfly that gives the sticky throttle... local motor factors 1 can about £3.50... |

And if you don't use all the carp cleaner on your intake system, you can use the rest to "descale" your kettle !!!!
