Car Forum / Peugeot Cars / October 2006sluggish throttle response 406 TD
Hi All, I own a 97 406 TD which I've had for over 7 years and 150,000 trouble free miles . Just recently I've noticed the throttle response isn't how it should be , the first 1/2" of movement on the pedal does nothing , it's noticeable when you change down for a corner or something and it doesn't pick up like it should . Any ideas what ,if anything , I should check first ?. T.I.A. Ron > Hi All, > I own a 97 406 TD which I've had for over 7 years and 150,000 [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > T.I.A.

I have experienced it on both a 405 and my present 406. It is dead easy to adjust, there is a slide on clip that holds the cable and the grommet the cable goes into has a series of grooves for adjustment.  SignatureKeith Willcocks (If you can't laugh at life, it ain't worth living!) try and remove the telescopic damper from the throttle lever its not really needed Paul The throttle damper is used for emission purposes in the UK. I have removed mine and had no ill effects. If you remove one of the fixing screws and work it back and forward it should compress easily and then when released extend quickly. This is the main cause of erratic slow running in some weather conditions. DONT THINK ABOUT REPLACING AS THEY COST £120 what a rip off. Try running some injector cleaner through the system. It is also worth checking the vacuums pipe that runs to the acceptor for the turbo this often splits and causes poor braking and poor acceleration.
