Hi everybody,
my Vette seems to have a problem with the throttle cable: when the engine is off, the throttle pedal is smooth. But once the engine has cranked, when I try to push the pedal, it is first really hard to push and then smooth like when the engine is off. So, I cannot control the acceleration...
I've checked the cruise control cable and I really think it is not involved in that problem. I've lubricated the throttle cable and adjusted the T.V. cable with no effect.
To my mind , the problem comes from the throttle body: when the throttle valve is closed, you have to make a real effort to open it, but once the air can flow , it is less difficult. Perhaps my throttle body needs to be repaired? Or perhaps is it a normal condition ?
I need an advice...
