Defcon5 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 If its not even opening it would probably be better to romove it and give it a proper clean rather than just spraying it through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99hjhm Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Could be a faulty brake light switch, if the swith is contacting when it shouldn't, the car wont rev when driving. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Defcon5 Posted April 10, 2010 Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 So when you press the accelerator the TB doesnt open at all? If so, I doubt its just gunked up - the TB itsefl could be buggered, or maybe part of the DBW system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayg40 Posted April 12, 2010 Report Share Posted April 12, 2010 hi, new comer to the forum. I also have a TB problem i think, hoping someone could give me anything else to try before i throw money at it to try solve it.car is a 1.4 16v loop, x plate (girlfriends car).problems= car sometimes a pain to start, ie lights on dash go off when trying to start. so got it plugged in and was temp sensor so changed it, a couple of weeks later had same problem and it turned out to be o2 sensor in cat, again changed it. Still a problem to start at times, checked zaust and its hole free, cleaned TB on sat fired it up and started first time every time,EPC light came on today and wont rev. brake lights work, been reset to ecu but fault still comes up with TB control malfunction. trying the dissconect battery overnite just to see.any help or advice welcome.Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
