2002 Sonata Throttle Cable
Yet another question:
When I step on the gas pedal, I feel more than a little resistance. Usually, I have to push hard with my foot, which leads to "jackrabbit" starts after which I have to back off the accelerator. If I try to hold a fast idle with the car stopped, say 2000 RPM, it's almost impossible. The throttle plate and cable seem to move freely. Many auto manuals tell you not to lubricate the throttle cable. Any suggestions on what the problem might be and how to solve it, before I get busy with, say, lock-ease? -- PB "I suspect you're an arrogant little pissant who grew up in the Red Bull generation." - CJW |

It may not be the cable, but other parts of the linkage. Check that they are not loose, worn, binding, jammed, or otherwise causing your problem. |
Re: 2002 Sonata Throttle Cable
Check to see whether the cable housing is kinked anywhere.
Also, after letting the car sit overnight, open the hood and try to open the throttle using the lever on the throttle body. The plate may be sticking. This tends to occur more after the vehicle sits awhile. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |
