Basically on a 04 focus 1.8 petrol.
When I press the gas pedal I kinda of hear/feel a springy noise haven't had a chance to have a look as it been raining hard. Hope its nothing worrying. Its about just over halfway down when you press.
Any idea of what might be up ?
Do they have a cable?
Lubrication all points
cable strand broken.
Take out and check if its not sticking.
or with linkages
lubrication or bushes.
Yes'
Preferably with a silicone lubricant, not dino oil or WD40, as it's all plastic.
They are plastic coated, so unlikely but possible.
It's easy to unhook it at the pedal end; you can then check to see if the pedal moves smoothly on its own. You may need to remove the plastic cover over the pedal area; five screws, plus unplug the diagnostics connector. I can manage without however.
Again, silicone lubricant advised.
The cable is described as self-adjusting, which appears to mean non- adjustable, so there's nothing to go wrong there.
Get someone to operate it, and listen under the bonnet; the throttle return spring is a possible culprit.
