Accelerator problem

Post by daddyjim »

Hi all,

On my way back from work today and all of a sudden my accelerator just goes. Has anyone got any ideas why? My thought is that it was the cable broken but I don't know much about mechanics.
Any advise would be great.
Cheers
James

Just a quick check, cant remember if it makes it feel like your accelerator just goes or not, but the "rod"? the accelerator pedal is clipped onto can come unclipped if knocked in a particular way.

Hope that made a little sense?
