All,

 

I've got a sticky throttle which is being caused by the highlighted pipe/plug which has popped out (slightly) and is catching on the accel. rod. What can I stick this back with? When the engine warms up it's better but not perfect.

Thanks,

Ice.

 

 

 

 

Can't see a pic but I know what you mean;) happened to mine about two years ago at 4000rpm in top gear:eek: :eek: :eek:

 

I just tapped mine back in and it's been fine ever since.

I've tried to insert a picture but it doesn't work. Here is the link:

As you can see, I have highlighted the part that has popped out. What does it do and how can I stick it back!#

 

It's only popped out about 3-4 mm but it's enough !

 

Thanks,

 

Ice

Tap it back in with a small hammer;)

..... now where's my touch .... :D

 

What is it? Will it affect the car if I can't do it 'til the weekend?

I have had this happen to me but on the opposite side. When engine cold taped it back into place and put a dab of thread lock to stop it coming out again, did the trick for me.

Its the breather for the rocker cover thats what it is! Just tap it back in. These usually only come out when running much higher boost but I have seen a few that have simply come loose. Araldite should do the trick too but remember its being carrying oily vapour so make sure the area is nice and clean first...

 

CheerZ,
