low down revs flatspot

[sambo19]

i have a major flatspot around 1.5k revs. im guessing a good service would do it the world of good but is there anything else i should be checking that mite affect the performance?

polishing / cleaning the throttle body might sort that out mate

yeh iv heard alot about the throttle body, iv had my car 18months now and have never touched the throttle body! probably get a tellin off now wont i! haha

 

[Chrisdaman]

i've had mine nearly a year and not touched it lol

nandos ported and polished it for me

have you got an induction kit fitted?

 

[sambo19]

nope, everything standard, it only started happening a couple of days ago

 

[Mckellar]

give it a service, new oil and plugs, clean the TB out using cleaner and a wee brush, change the spark plugs and cap.

all i can think of that will make a difference unless its something more technical - but doesnt sound that bad

Will it make a noticeable difference having the tb polished? Also where or who can do this for me?

Where is the throttle body guys and is it difficult to clean?

Just follow the pipes that go from the airbox. It will have the accelerator cable attached to the side of it.
