guys just need some help. my car is a 96 GLI. D16Y i think
The other day my accelarator gave up on me. It just went really stiff and hard to step.
it something like... pressing on the pedal from 1st is normal til like 2000revs then it gets really stiff then you have to press really hard for the gas to continue then it sounds as if the car is stuck on full throttle and just screams. happens in all gears.
also. sometimes when iam idling the revs auto jump really high and stay there as if stuck then i press the pedal and it turns back normal.
i also popped the bonnet and tried turning the accelarator and it is still very stiff.
help much appreciated
cheers
