Boosted Falcon

for a while now the kickdown doesn't seem to be responsive...when i put the foot down sometimes it takes 1-2 seconds till the car actually bloody goes.
becoming a real pain now, and could get me into trouble one day.
any ideas guys? thanks

shift kit would speed up the shift.

might some oil as well.

Eco / Power button put it on power.

check your accelerator cable for wear.

What sorta car is it?

ea falcon..s pack

nah the shift kit has nothing to do with it, thats made a huge difference to the car... but im thinking the throttle cable or kickdown solenoid is fkd

It's probably the throttle cable.. From memory I think wear out where they run across the top of the rocker cover. Piss easy to replace..

yeh i might just change that neway...do u know how much a new cable is?
or where to get it from?

Repco or Bursons will have them.

Last time I replaced one on a EA was about 8 or 9 years ago so the price will probably be different, but I think it was around $50-60

okay thanks..oh well worth changing it, hopefully it fixes the problem

3speed or 4 speed?

its a 4 speed

Well it may be either related to the Accel cable or neutral safty switch related.

i had the same problem with my ed and changed the accelerator cable and it made a huge improvement
they cost about $60 or maybe a bit more
