Hi guys. Is the throttle pedal on a Rallye automatically adjusted?I put a new throttle body gasket on earlier and cleaned icv& Tps while I was at it and ran it with lamda unplugged to see if that's whats causing the boggy throttle in low revs. Now my throttle pedal is really low?? Any ideas? ________________________________________ Beef Beyond Belief |

There's nothing to adjust at the pedal and, the steel wire is just clipped on. Take a look on the throttle body, you'll see the other end of the steer wire is just held in my a screw into a little end block. Loosen screw, pull wire tight, re-tighten screw. One-minute job. Bear in mind you'll want to leave a slight bit of slack, even a little bit too tight and you'll affect the idle speed.

Looks like it's possibly in upside-down, or maybe is a different design. I'd grab yourself a new cable from GSF (about a tenner) and run that. Undo the throttle end, leave the outer sheath there and pull it through from inside the car. Clip new one to pedal, feed new cable back through. You can change the outer sheath as well but it's a bit more fiddly and it only really necessary if it's siezing up. ________________________________________ Membership expiring soon, get in contact on our new little forum project. |

there is no screw on the o./e cable, adjust with the spring clip on the outer cable stop, it will not be seized.________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Get a proper part, or you may get a sudden loss of power/throttle close.  ________________________________________ Spanner Monkeys Monkey SpannerForum Search Clicky |
