Re: stiff accelerate

Does the throttle hang up (stick) at all?

with the cable disconnected from the throttle body is it stiff ?

If not then with the cable off remove the air inlet ducting and using throttle body cleaner [NOT CARB CLEANER] , and using a tooth brush , give the throttle body / plate a good cleaning ..do this when cold...do not use too much cleaner...allow to dry before starting...keep throttle plate open so excess cleaner will evaporate faster..

throttle body needs cleaning about 20,ooomi...usually you get sticking ..
