This just started to happen recently. When i press on the gas pedal it doesn't feel responsive... I've changed the throttle cable so i know it's not that... the next thing i can think of is the throttle body.... is there a way i can make the gas pedal more responsive or check to see if there's any problems with the throttle body?

Try cleaning your throttle body also check pcv

responsiveness has many factors to it, from ignition retard/advance, to fueling, to restricted air filter...

could also be if you adjusted the idle/air screw!

matt your pm box is full.... do something about ...

give the thorttle body a clean and see how it does then

as rick said, spray some carb cleaner or FI injector cleaner through your tb, and keep the idle up so the engine doesnt stall, use 1/2 to 3/4 the can ... also make sure the cleaner is 02 sensor safe.

i used motormaster throttle body cleaner... it seems to be slightly better... i wasn't sure how much to spray in... maybe i'll spray more to see if it makes it even better...

Speaking of spraying the TB cleaner, I just did that to my Civic over the weekend, but I didn't use 1/2 bottle. Is that really necessary?

EKdude

Yeah? is this really neccessary?

I mean i just use a bit... i and do see carbon build up... but thats really a lot, is it not?

j9chan====> did it make any difference or make your accerleration more responsive?
