BAZ2CRAZY Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 in 1st, ticking over in traffic, it pulls smoothly(2mph). as soon as i apply a tiny bit of throttle it starts to leap forward and backward like a rocking horse. Then if i apply abit more it accelerates as normal.My peugeot 206 Never did this, nor did my other previous starlet.Could this be a dirty sensor? throttle possition sensor?Thanks.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Go into 2nd, see if it does it then. You should be fine rolling in 2nd on idle aslong as it's flat ground.It's not going to solve any problems doing this but it might be a quick fix for doing low speed stuff.

BAZ2CRAZY Posted March 3, 2009 Author Share Posted March 3, 2009 does it in second too, its so anoying trying to drive smooth... because it seems to be impossible.Cheers.Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 Open the TB clean all the gunk, check your plugs,leads and dizzy.....mind you mine kinda did that when i left the sensor off when putting the rolla mani on so check the fuel + map?/maf? sensor vacum pipes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Driver Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 just rag it dont use low throttle hahaton a more serious note check maf sensor and intake pipe/TB for gunk Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BAZ2CRAZY Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Cheers lads, its had new plugs so thats alright, il check the TB tomorrow for crap and sensors etc.Wheres the maf? ive looked for it before and couldnt find it.Also, if one of you could answer,what are the benefits of stiffer engine mounts, polybushes etc? do you feel a difference? what effects do they have?because i might be talking out my arse, but i have a theory that perhaps the engine/gearbox are rocking backward and forward (on worn mounts perhaps?)also and the body of the car is jaulting with it? Im here to learn so put me right if im wrong, would be appreciated Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted March 4, 2009 Share Posted March 4, 2009 Its on the firewall circled red in pic (top left) theres nothing you can do to it, just make sure the vac hose is connected and the electrical connecter is plugged in...As for the mounts with poly bushes youll actually notice the car vibrate more because they are stiffer....just inspect them bud, as for performance gains i guess you would notice better accel etc as the engine is "in place" as it were and not moving about.

BAZ2CRAZY Posted March 5, 2009 Author Share Posted March 5, 2009 Thanks alot!Mitch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Np also when you clean the tb take it off and do it, a friend tried to clean his and didnt take it off leaving all the flamable liquid/vapor in the intake when he started it made one hell of a noise felt as if the pistons would come flying out.....also gives you an excuse to port/polish it best of luck On a side note open the dizzy cap and there may be white residue on the contacts inside ( there was quite abit on mine) just get a flat head and carefully "chip" it off.
