g60greeny 0 Posted October 13, 2005 this problems been going on for a while now,so i thought its about time i found out what it is.when driving the car from cold as i come to a junction and dip the clutch my revs kick upto nearly 3k,if i just put it in neutral before i stop at the junction it doesn't do it and after shes warmed up it doesn't do it,any ideas?

RACK 0 Posted October 14, 2005 My guess is the throttle cable is sticking mate, mine used to do it all the time. It's a quick and cheap job. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 2 Posted October 14, 2005 It does sound quite similar to the throttle cable problem. When changing gears, dipping clutch would cause the engine to rev up to 2,500/3000RPM - it was weird because it would come and go sometimes lasting a few days then not happening. As RACK says, reasonably cheap part and a 30 minute job to fit :) Not sure what else it could be though if its not that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pickard1 0 Posted October 14, 2005 Someone help... I'n listening Today i was breaking and found she wasnt slowing. Dipped the clutch and the engine was red-lining, had to turn ignition off before it blew. Sounds a similar problem... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
potatonet 0 Posted October 15, 2005 sounds like your cables are sticking guys... check you're ISV as well, mine stuck open and revs stayed at 3k... =-/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

g60greeny 0 Posted October 15, 2005 i had a prob with my car stalling,got advised to clean the ISV did this which sorted that prob,how come it doesn't do it after she's warmed up? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
potatonet 0 Posted October 16, 2005 cause whatever it is stops sticking =-)P just on an off topic, I WISH THE PEOPLE WHO DESIGNED THE BENTLEY PUT IN THE PISTON ORDER ON A G60, THOUGH IT SHOULD BE COMPLETELY OBVIOUS ON ITS OWN, cylinder 1 is nearest to the timing belt.
