artscot79 Posted March 7, 2010 Share Posted March 7, 2010 hi chris thanks for the reply, but would this cause it to rev up even when not in gear and just ticking over? sounds more like the throttle position sensor a little black box plugged into th eside of the throttle body had the same with a hyundai changing this solved the problem and it doesnt always throw a code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
