VR6SA 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 Heya. When riding at low revs when i accelerate the revs will go up and then come down and then only will the car go/accelerate. It also happens when changing gear. ever since I had my throttle body cleaned its being doing this. What could it beThanks D Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted February 21, 2005 Report Share Posted February 21, 2005 so a low rev, low throttle misfire/hiccup....give the TB and ISV (it appears to be an obd1 car?) another clean. sometimes takes a few cleans to get it perfect.if it doesn't go away then, its prob something else....but i'd try this first.

VR6SA 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 They produced 2 specs here, mine is the 2nd spec(obd2 I assusme) came with airbags, different headrests, oval repeaters etc not sure about engine diffrerences, colours were the same in both specs Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 have a look at your throttle body... if it's got a black plastic cover on the airbox side and an electrical connector on the top just in front of where the air intake joins then its obd2 Link to post Share on other sites
