Throttle Pedal Moves With Engine

[Guest naughtymutt]

i have noticed that my throttle pedal moves with the engine. ie, when it started to kangaroo the pedal feels as if it is moving. I have checked the route of the cable and have seen a couple of different routes for it. Which is right.

 

Also do the rubbers on the top engine mount have to touch the engine mount.

its perfectly normal for pedal to move with kangarooing, its just the engine tugging the cable. group N lower mount will stop it yanking the cable so much but TBH youd be best looking into why it kangaroo's

Where do I start looking?

 

it is only kangarooing when I lift off the gas.

Its just a characteristic of a 205 really, mine does it aswell but I just coast in the low revs

might be best to clean AFM and SAD etc thn set the ignition timing and idle up from scratch. I found mine kangarooed a lot when the idle air screw was set wrong. It did idle but the butterfly closed too far and it struggled to get the air at lower revs when moving.

if you shim the top engine mount buffers until they touch the mount you will get rid of a lot of your problem

I have put a new top mount and shimmed the buffers close to the mount and it has fixed the kangarooing problem and has stopped the throttle pedal moving as much.

Get a can of carb cleaner. Claen all your air pipes, afm, tb. If still having the problems then get a ecotech valve, wicked bits of kit and stop kanarooing.
