Accelerator question
« on: 02 November 2014, 17:25:31 »
Sometimes when I first start up the car, I press on the accelerator nothing happens then after a couple of seconds it picks up. What should I be looking for as a problem?

Throttle position sensor as a guess.

TPS problems on the 4-pot are normally down to a dirty throttle body. Suggest remove and a good clean with carb cleaner

I'd expect some codes to be stored if there has been a problem with the DBW throttle sensors.
