Hi, I'm new to the 993 world. Currently a 964 and just sold a 73 E. I just picked up a 96 993 C2 Coupe and have noticed the throttle cable is not returning properly after I push the accelerator down. I've popped the pedal off the lever in the pedal cluster and found that as I push the linkage down the cable itself does not return quickly leaving the rpm's up. I have been trying to locate the throttle return spring in the engine bay and have had no luck. On the early cars it's right there, easily accessible. I removed the air filter cover but still did not see the throttle cluster and spring. Can any of you direct me to the right place. I'm thinking the return spring may be old or perhaps broken. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Chris

 

Anyone out there with any experience with this? Where can I find the throttle return spring in the engine bay? Many Thanks guys.

Luckily haven't experienced this......yet.

Chris, when/what/how etc. on the 993? Details please.

 

Thanks. Still trying to figure out how to access the spring, or at least where to start. I'd like to blip the throttle from the engine bay, is that possible?

 

Its Viper Green It's a 96 and it's very different to the 964...

 

That's pretty much impossible on a VRAM car. You will need to lower the engine to access the throttle linkage.

Search for my Varioram Conversion DIY for pics of he throttle linkage.

 

Thanks jm993. So is it Left or Right of the Vram intake as i face the motor?

 

See the bottom post here

It's in the middle, slightly offset to the driver's side of the car.

 

Thanks man. I think I see where it is now. Is there a chance the engine sound pad is pushing down on the throttle linkage cluster there and causing the spring to bind a little? If I loosen the rear motor mounts a little and lower the engine a bit, can I get my hand in there? I want to spray WD 40 over the area and see if that helps a little. I really appreciate your guidance here JM. Cheers

 

If you remove the fresh air blower, you can reach under the Vram through to the cruise control rod and blip the throttle.

 

Nice, Thanks. Might be easier. I want to add an RS heater pipe anyway. Cheers!

 

You'll need some really small hands and wrists for that and frankly I'm not sure how you'd get any type of lubricant back there short of carpet bombing the engine bay.

Before you go to the trouble of accessing the throttle linkage, you may want to trace the cable backward. The cable could have come loose or kinked somehow.

Good luck.

 

It's a tight fit. And you better hope that your plug wires are good (Zap) because its not a quick entrance or exit. Certainly not an access for lubing the throttle cable just responding to the gentleman's question about "blipping the throttle".
