Sticky throttle issue ?
Hi all, just got myself a lovely 04 turbo wagon :-) now I had this issue on a prev wrx also a 04 plate but back then it never bothered me too much... this time it seems to annoy more than it should lol
basically while driving gently it's ok soon as I put my foot down to half throttle or more and let off between gears it seems to take a second or so for the throttle to let off so sometimes it sounds like I'm on the clutch too early , it's more annoying than anything as I don't floor her all that much lol.
I'm thinking throttle cable is worn or possibly the butterfly valve is gacked up a bit so maybe a clean will help, I also read somewhere about a relearn but I'm unsure if that only applies too a fly by setup ? Or if it would Still apply here as cable is all mechanical isn't it ?
Any help would be appreciated it's just one of those things I'm not sure how long I can drive it till I have a mini hissy fit like a 2 year old lol
