kickdown not responsive at all

[joe]

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?

[joe]

ea falcon..s pack

[joe]

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

[Kenaz]

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..

[joe]

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

[joe]

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

[Froudey]

3speed or 4 speed?

[joe]

its a 4 speed

[Froudey]

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
