    Default accelerator spring

    Just pulled off throttle body and cleaned it and components,when I put it back on the reveed so high I thought it was gonna blow up.The peddle was very loose and I had to pull it off the floor.I had a look at and I think I have broken the spring,its just sitting there and has no pressure any where on it.Does some one have a pic of it or know where its suppose to connect doesnt mention it in manual.Oh yeah its a vn wagon v6 series 1

    So you think the big spring on the top is broked? so when you open it up manualy the butterfly doesnt snap back? if so will have to get another spring from wreckers or buy it new.

    Yeah, why not check the computer yourself?? just takes a lil bit of speaker wire or paper chip and you can check for engine codes, saves abit of money unless its free.
