hey guys, i picked up my ralliart magna yesterday, absolutley love the thing ! such a difference from my vr-x auto..... anyway one thing ive noticed is the accelerator cable, when trying to take off or when you release it then accelerate it again it gets stuck so you need to push down a little harder which gets really annoying e.g revving at lights or bunnyhopping after changing gears....is this a manual thing you need to get used to or somethings "wearing out" definatley different to my auto i have aswell and when the cars off it doesnt do it, its fine so is there something electrical there???? any help appreciateD !

Last time that was happening for me it was due to a filthy throttle body and loose accelerator cable. Cleaning the throttle body and tightening the cable fixed it. There should be some info on here somewhere regarding cleaning the throttle body.

Check that the throttle plate isn't binding in the throttle body when it is fully closed.

This was happening to me also, gradually got worse. I even changed the TB and the cable. It ended up being the Oxy sensor had died and was sending rubbish signals. Keep this in mind if the car becomes undrivable
