hey guys

the accelerator pedel on my 96 TS 4Cyl manual feels kinda strange.

Its makes driving (expecially in low gears) really jumpy. for example, u go to push it a little and it doesnt move, the u push a little harder and it sorta slips and reves higher then wanted. it doesnt feel smooth.

sorry if this doesnt make much sence, its kinda hard to explain.

is there anything i can do to fix this perhaps ??

cheers :)

It makes a lot of sense.

There is a stop screw on the side of the throttle body. Wind it in a bit, no more than quarter of a turn and test the car. If the setting is off, the throttle plate jams, you push real hard, and it suddenly loosens, and the revs go up too high. Been there, done that!

Adjustment goes off through normal wear and tear.
