f*cking car is driving me up the wall.
Can anyone help with the following issue before i go outside and through a brick at it
Having a veerrrry minor running issue (revs drop very quickly and dip to 600rpm when clutch & brake go in at a roundabout (as an example). the ISCV is working (brand new Ford), the car never stalls....sometimes when you put your foot on the accelerator while the revs are dipping it takes ages to respond (for revs to stop dipping and starting inclining). This is slightly annoying. Plus it's not as smooth as i'd like between gear changes (because of this).
anyway, i bought a brand new £18 ebay TPS to fit. figured it can't hurt. How wrong i was....
so basically i did the following:
1) Unplug plug
2) undo retaining torx bolts
3) withdraw TPS
3.5) roughly measure old TPS with new one - make sure you have bought the correct item
4) get new TPS
5) line up the torx bolts in the TPS and mate to TB housing
6) screw in evenly
7) continue until TPS has mated throttle spindle
8) plug in plug
9) take car on quick journey to test
on the test (2x 20min journeys to courier depot) the throttle was stiff. like really stiff. it also stuck, so idling slightly high.
if you put your foot down to 5/6k it would stick on.
eventually after my first 20min stint it had loosen quite considerabley and was atleast driveable. idling at 1k to 1.1k ish, barely any sticking, slight smell of burning plastic under the bonnet
at this stage i had no tools and had to return home.
By the time i got home it was barely sticking (if at all). when you FULLY press the accelerator at say 1.5k in 5th gear (i.e. boot it in a high gear, low revs) it did start to majorly hesitate.
so whats happened, can anyone explain.
if no-one can explain please buy it off me ffs i've had enough
any help appreciated
cheers
