smiff 0 Posted November 12, 2002 My 1.8 16v (baby) corrado is kangarooing like a cat on a hot tin roof. This is happening between 1500 and 2000 rpm in both first and second gear. It is fine in higher gears and idles ok at 1000rpm. It has been suggested the 'Throttle Switch' could be failing? As precaution I have also bought some new :oops: :oops: ht leads which I have yet to fit. Any ideas? (great web site, lets keep the corrado alive!)

vondribbley 0 Posted November 12, 2002 My VR6 did the same and I had the HT leads and distributor checked twice before I finally replaced them - solved the problem immediately. It would definately be my first port of call in future Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smiff 0 Posted November 15, 2002 After two separate visits to the garage, and the problem quickly getting worse, we finally tracked down the cause! A small crack in the air-intake pipe (between the air filter and the throttle switch) The engine was getting too much air! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
