| Post subject: | Sticky Accelerator Pedal |
The accelerator pedal was quite sticky on the 944 I recently purchased also the accelerator cable had been joined, and the standard cable quadrant/cam had been turned upside down to work as a throttle response cam this was catching on the rubber protection of the return spring. After replacing the cable and the cam, the pedal is a lot smother however there is still a bit of a sticky spot just at the beginning if the travel. It turns out to be the track on back of the accelerator pedal where the metal bar runs in is a bit worn, its the same on the Turbo I have as well, a bit of grease has masked the problem slightly. Has anyone else experienced this is there a better part you can use, a common fix??????? |

Also, check that someone hasn't jacked the car up in the wrong place and distorted that floor as this can also cause the throttle pedal to stick. |

I had this, firstly my problem was compounded by the spring missing off the throttle body then I got a rubber hammer and beat the floor around the pedal, things are much better now. |

My guess too. Its so likely because the floor under the pedal actually looks as though it is supposed to support a jack, but it isn't and it cannot. |

Yes indeed I too jacked my car up in the wrong place and the throttle stuck open, egg on my face. |
