Why is my boat running slow at full throttle?
Even if your boat is operational, riding with a spun blade places the propeller at risk for damage. Depending on the severity of the problem, it could leave your boat dead in the water unless the problem is fixed ASAP. Have you checked your propeller for debris?
How is the throttle connected to the accelerator?
In the old days, there used to be a cable that was connected from the throttle to the accelerator. But now in the technological age, the car’s computer controls when the throttle opens and closes by the feedback it gets about the acceleration of the vehicle.
Can a bad throttle position sensor cause idle surging?
Idle surging can be caused due to other issues in the car, but if it happens in conjunction with other throttle position sensor symptoms, the culprit is often the TPS. At idle, the ECM will not get the correct information and the throttle will variate randomly causing idle surges. 3) Check Engine Light
What causes the throttle to open at high speeds?
What usually happens is that at high speeds, the butterfly valve inside the throttle may close up, and if the driver pushes on the pedal harder, the valve ‘pops’ open suddenly, giving the car an unintentional burst of speed. All of this happens if the sensor is unable to detect the closed position of the throttle.
How do you test a non adjustable throttle?
In order to test a non-adjustable one, such as a potentiometer TPS, a voltmeter is used, like so: 1. Disconnect the throttle sensor harness. 2. Open the throttle valve manually and check the resistance changes between the terminal 1 and 2. 3. Check the resistance in three different positions of the accelerator pedal.
What are the symptoms of a bad throttle?
Their improper functioning could cause symptoms such as poor ignition, inefficient throttle response, or an idle stop. Switch and combination TPS are tested with an ohmmeter. 1. Disconnect the throttle sensor harness. 2. Open the throttle valve manually and check the resistance changes between the terminal 1 and 2. 3.

Can a 2007 Outback Outback air intake be replaced?
I have a 2007 Outback that had the same symptoms. Taking the MAF (Mass Air Flow) Sensor out and spraying some electronic sensor cleaner on it removed the hesitation. There are just two screws that hold it in to the intake, so it is a quick operation. Not sure if long term the MAF needs to be replaced but for now it is holding up.
Is there a way to reset the throttle body?
This method is almost foolproof as long as all ECU control parameters are within their normal ranges. Resetting The Throttle Body Calibration (this step is conditional) A Rough Idle or a SES can sometimes be caused by a change in the throttle body position sensor calibration.
What to do about hesitation in a Subaru Outback?
