96 1.8 Sticky accelerator..? - missuze
Hi!
I have a bit of a weird problem with my 96 Golf estate... any suggestions would be welcome!!
Basically, sometimes, quite often when I'm in third gear and am going down hill, I'll take my foot off the accelerator to use engine braking/not speed up, and although I've taken my foot off the accelerator pedal, the pedal will not move backwards with my foot - it will just stay stuck where it is. When i tap my foot back on the accelerator, the pedal will come back and I'll be able to use it as normal.
A mate had a look at the throttle cable and seemed to think it was ok, although I'm not completely discounting that as a problem.
The car could probably do with a service and spark plugs changing, and is often reluctant to start when cold, although I'm not sure that is related.
If anyone has any ideas I'd be very grateful!
Thanks!
