throttle cable vibration/adjustment?

Recommended Posts

hi all

 

My 16v cable seems to vibrate and whip back when I change up or come off the gas, any ideas chaps? I worried it might snap

 

thanks

unclip it from the throttle body (don't lose the little u shaped clip) and manually slide the inner cable in and out, does it move smoothly or grab and stick?

it should slide silky smooth, if it's old then the inner cable may have worn through the outer sleeves plastic liner and you've got metal on metal, usually at the sharp bend in the cable above the inlet manifold, need a new cable I reckon.

Is there some kind of adjustment to be had on this cable? I fitted my new one last night, seems ok I think the vibration has gone

I've got this problem on my silver valver too?! it seem too long? I actually bought a new one for the blue valver and that still does the same?! I can't work this out
