throttle

Hi, Can someone please explain to me how the 'Adaptive Throttle Reset' works? I understand that after the reset the car learns your driving style but for how long does it learn before it settles on your style of driving? Or is it a continous procedure that the car is always learning? I've...

Hello all! Sorry to jump in with a question, but a friend of mine has just bagged himself a bargain, which has developed an annoying issue. When you hit the pedal to the metal the engine seems to cut out, but if you lift it half an inch the power comes back. It looks like the throttle is...

Alright Members, Can anyone tell me the advantages reaped from cleaning my throttle body? What improvemnet signs should i expect to see once this is done?

Hi knowledgeable folks, First noticed this trait on my CLK a couple of years ago and it hasn’t really bothered me as I was living in London and rarely used much of my car’s power. On accelerating at full throttle it zooms up to 5000rpm but then it feels like all the torque/power disappears...

Greetings. First post on the forum. I have recently acquired a '92 300ce 24v with around 118k on the clock. It appears to run fine apart from an occasional faltering on full throttle. What happens is it'll pull cleanly until around 5k rpm then the revs will start to bounce up and down...

So, after 6 enjoyable months of Jaguar S-Type R ownership, Mrs AMG has cried enough. She has sold on the Jaguar and bought a tidy 2003 ML 270CDI. One owner with full history in Tansanite Blue, good spec but no Comand. At the moment the best I can say is it seems ok - I think i'm missing about...

Hello, Recently discovered that 2 springs on my M102 engine disappeared... :( One of them was easy to replace, it was on the auto trans control levers, near the throttle. The other one is the number 101 on the following pic: Any ideas on how to get to it without removing the fuel...

Slight sticking especially when hot, identified as spindle bearings in rheostat at end of cable, temporary fix silicone spray. Reason poor spring geometry, spindle carries force of pedal return spring as well as its own return spring. Solution, after a lot of thought, shift return spring to a...

Now that the 320e is finally on the road I have been driving it around and noticed that the throttle seems very stiff compared to other cars I have driven. I realise that some modern cars like my previous E55 are drive by wire and therefore not a great comparison but you have to press the...
