Honda Car Forum

the accelerator on my honda 2000EX seems to be sticky esp when i start my
car after a few hours of stop.

lets say i m starting my car in the morning... i'll have to tap on my
accelerator for it to be normal.. it just seems to stick. but once I tap
it... its works fine for the rest of the drive. the same if happens if i
leave a car for af few hours, then again the accelerator is stuck to its
position.

any one got any idea what this could be?

thanks,

I think it is just a matter of oiling some part because my 2000LX
displays the exact same symptoms and each time I take it for service,
I complain. They do something that fixes it for a few weeks.

Anyone does this on their own? I believe I am going to have to keep
asking the shop to do this on every service.

bc

My throttle cable was caked with dirt, i cleaned it as much as i could
then lubed it. Try moveing the throtle from under the hood and see if
the cable is slow to retern although if it happens after a rest i would
look at moveing parts on the throtle bodie. To make it last longer try a
dry lube or a good synthetic oil. You might try asking them what is
being done? Cant hurt.

Thanks Randolph:

This is very very helpful, now alteast I know whta the problem is and also
how to explain.

I don't know if I can handle the solution myself, atleast the first time
around, but anyhow I am taking my honda to the service center this weekend.
I'll take the printout with me, so the guy knows exactly what I need hime to
do.

Thanks a ton!!!
