On my way home from work i merged onto the interstate and all of a sudden my pedal felt like there was something stuck under it. So i pull over thinking it was my sandle or something stuck under it. And all was free. The car is idling fine, but the pedal moves maybe 1/2 an inch, and then stops. I went under the hood and the throttle cable is extremely tight, but near the throttle its self the cable has slack in it. And the trottle when you try to rev it moves 1/4 an inch. and then just stops. Im completly stuck on what the problem is. Any advise or willingness to come check it out would be appreciated. Dont know if it will help, but its bone stock.

thanks

 

anyone, i need it fixed by like 1 pm tomorrow , becuase i have to drive out to greenbrier for work =(

 

without looking at it? It could need a new throttle cable, or the spring in the tb is bad? Just guesses without looking. Your gonna have to take it apart prob.

 

sounds like you have a kink or part of the cable broke and its jammed

 

Disconnect the throttle cable. Grab the throttle pulley and move it with your hand. If it freely moves, then the cable is the culprit and needs to be replaced. You can try spraying some lithium grease inside the cable way.... it might work....

I dont think the spring on the TB is bad. Otherwise you will not have the slack that you are talking about. Plus, if the TB gets stuck somewhere in the (part) open position, the TPS will send a signal to the ECU to keep dumping calculated fuel. Then your car will rev per TPS position.

 

see i dont know if its the cable, because the cable doesnt tightin up fully when i move the trottle at the trottlebody. i will try looking at it today in the sun light to see if there is anything. thanks for the suggestions.

 

there was a recall issued about some of the throtle cables. Call a honda dealer and give them your vin number and see if your car needs any recalls performed. It may get done for free or you just need to put a new throtle cable on it your self. It never hurts to give them a call to find out though.

 

Maybe hung up on something, get up under the pedal and look around. Track down the whole cable.

 

ok i found out what it was. My intake pipe (crappy short ram) on the end of the filter there is a metal cap that closes the filter, well that got stuck against my trottle body plate. So it wasnt allowing it to open. Thanks for all the info.
