Post by Hardcore »

you know the acceleration peddal. is it a bad thing if when you put youyr foot under it, you can lift it up a little but. and its a little bit flappy before the gas hits it wen accelarating. do you get me lol??

you will find its tight when the engine is off.

but the second you turn the engine on the car opens the throttle slightly. thus pulling the peddle down a tad.

you will notice if you get close to stalling it and the ECU catches it you will feel the accelerator go down to stop the engine form stalling.

Sometimes I feel the brakes free drop if i'm braking to a stop and put the clutch down if its bout to stall cos I got that common rev dropping problem.

the brakes shouldent do that. :? the only thing they may do if the engine is about to stall is they might get stiffer ( loose assistance.)

the accelerator peddle definitly drops if you nearly stall i know that as when i drive in dress shoes(work shoes) my clutch control goes nasty dont ask i learned in trainers and have driven for 4 years in trainers. holey s**t ive been driving for 4 years.
