What speed is this happening at? How many gears has the auto trans automatically downshifted when you mashed on the pedal? What happens if you manually downshift when flooring it uphill? I am not convinced this is not related to the kickdown cable misrouting/maladjustment. Here's something else for you to try: (engine off) Have a helper press the accelerator pedal to the floor while you watch the accelerator arm on the IP. While they are holding it to the floor, see if you can rotate the accelerator arm on the IP even further. Is the pedal able to rotate the throttle arm all the way by itself? Maybe there is too much slack in the pedal cable or other (max WOT?) adjustment?

thanks for that info NGOMA i have done your test there is only 5 millimetres max when pedal is full down and i can just get that tiny bit more turn . the maximum RPM is never more than 3000 going up my hill with foot on the floor .
and my fuel consumption is down by 15% i guess ! |

15% less fuel consumption is quite a good move-- what do you think it is you did to improve it that much? How have you been measuring it?
Otherwise-- Sorry I don't have any more advice for you, based on the information given.

sorry guys
that was meant to read 15% worse MPG im thinking it is possibly more as fuel gauge is dropping quite noticeably from fill up . well i called in at garage today they were to busy to help at moment i explained loss of power and higher fuel consumption . they said those 2 things suggest the fuel adjustment will be out as you guys said its a matter of adjusting score in 1/8 of a turn increments and driving the car then working on this principal you can get the car running correctly i am going to go with this as nothing to lose if i take care and do it the way you guys say . what do you think? |

sorry again .
you call it the smoke adjustment screw with the locknut . i understand this will effect the idle ticke over which will also need to be adjusted ! to keep ticker about 750 RPM |

What do I think, you asked?
I think we are getting away from the subject of this thread "Cold start." How about starting a new thread, call it "Mileage dropped," or "Low power," or "Sluggish acceleration," or whatever best describes this problem. Clearly state the symptoms, and everything you have done or tried so far. Thinking of those who may visit in the future, looking for info in a logical system. Sorry, I have gotten pulled along in this as well, will try to do better in the future.

hi all
i removed the smoke screw cover cap only to see the crimped washer still in place so with this not being removed does that mean the smoke screw is in the same place as before it was removed to fit the throttle shaft ? as im pretty sure the garage has not put a new one on at this moment ! regards jim |
