saxo wont rev up

[jaychamp]

hi there my friend has a 2001 saxo and it wont rev above 2500 revs does anyone have any idea why or has experienced the same prob

Has his throttle cable gone slack ?

[-shuggles-]

throttle position sensor?

[Alexvtrmk1]

yeah sounds like the throttle cable

Get him to sit i'n the car and watch the rev counter while you rev the car manually, if it revs above 2500 manually and it doesn't rev over 2500 using the accelerater then the throttle cable will be slack
