Sticky throttle cable
Hi there,
Am running a '00 Accord 2.0i ES Coupe (UK spec) with a F20B5 engine. In the morning, the throttle cable gets sticky. I have to depress the pedal fully with some force to 'liberate it.' After that, it's ok for the whole day, until the next morning. Am not sure where to look, except lubricating the throttle cable (which I've never done on a car.) Any ideas and/or advice will be greatly appreciated. Alex |

I use a silicone based spray oil to hit all of the accessible sections of the throttle linkage, under the hood. Also, I hit the linkage at the pedal end, under the dash. Brian |

Throttle body is gummed up. Pull air tube off and clean. Has nothing at all to do with the throttle cable. Also check PCV system for blockage. A plugged PCV valve will cause oil to be pumped into the intake, helping to sludge-up the throttle body. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

Your 'in the morning' description indicates it is. Lubing a throttle cable can be dangerous if you should be tempted to use the wrong stuff, and it sticks during cold weather..... 'Curly' |
