Hi guys, just purchased a 405 Estate, 1.9d family wagon, and am having a bit of trouble with the bosch injection pump.
Basically, the first quarter of the throttle travel does nothing. I have adjusted the cable to take up this slack, so the pedal is responsive, but as a result I can only get 3/4 throttle, and the throttle arm does not reach its rest, its suspended 'open' on the cable. Is this a common problem with these pumps? Never had any trouble with the one on my zx (bosch, turbo)
If so, is it a case of removing the throttle arm, rotating it back, and then refitting, or is this compensating for some kind of internal wear? With it being a nad estate car, I could use that extra quarter throttle!
And help or advice appreciated
