Harleysdad Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Hi guys. New to the forum and hoping for a bit of help. I have a ford focus 1.8 duratec he 2009.. And ever since I've had it the throttle seems unable to rev any less than 2000 rpm regardless of how lightly I touch the pedal it has a mind of its own and revs to 2000(embarassong when trying to park lol) it doesn't matter whether in gear or not it still acts the same however it idles as it should..... Up to now I have checked for vacuum leaks, replaced the throttle body and pcv valve . also had recent clutch. Any suggestions as it drives me nuts Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezwez Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 The throttle pedal may be faulty as it has some electrical connections on it. Its fly by wire no cable type but how it works am not sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

isetta Posted March 12, 2017 Share Posted March 12, 2017 i don't know for sure, but I assume it works like a variable resistor like a volume control. so if you knew which wires to check you could put a multimeter on it to check ohms resistance and see if the change in reading is gradual and even as you push pedal down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
