Dear SirMorning all,
Took the 3200gt out for a 'good run' on Saturday, and towards the end of the run (and now permanently since) the car seems to idle noticably higher than normal. Not by a lot, but where as normal idle sits just over the 1000rpm mark, it now seems to be much more like 1250-1300rpm, which then requires a lot of brake riding when crawling in traffic. I let it go with no pedal contact whatsoever and it drove up to 30mph and switched up to 2nd (its an auto box) without any acceleration on my part. I also notice that when coming off the power and naturally decelerating, the car starts to kangaroo a little bit before settling.
Final symptom, when moving into either park or neutral, the revs climb even higher - maybe 1400rpm, which as nice as it sounds - its a bugger having to then put it into a drive car as its certainly not what would be considered a smooth change!!
My (VERY) limited technical knowledge- 97% of which was gained from these very forums, lead me to think throttle body - any more mechanically minded people care to share their thoughts? Been thinking about the contactless throttle body upgrade for a while so maybe this will be the final straw, but would appreciate any opinions before making the move.
Thanks in advance!
Ben
