Hey guys, keep getting occainsonal problem mainly on the motorway, car will engine brake when under acceleration!
Am i right in thinking this is a ICV/TPS problem?
Taking my foot OFF the accelerator at 70 mph gives regular engine braking
Putting my foot ON the accelerator at 70 mph gives MASSIVELY more engine braking than normal.
Problem can happen for a few minutes then stop, or not happen at all. Only seems to be at motorway speed/revs
Can anyone help out at all please? Ive got a lot of travelling to do in the next few weeks and I think this can be quite dangerous if it happens at the wrong time!
On an unrelated note, my passenger door won't fully close if the temperature is too cold. Ive replaced the latch thinking it may have been the little plastic bit but it still does it. Im guessing itll be something in the door mechanism?
Cheers, Lawz
