After doing this to my gearbox i thought it was about time to sort afew thing out.
The rocker cover was leaking and the belts needed changing.
I also wanted to uprate and change a few things.
So put the car in the work shop and out came the engine.
I got a JC5 129 gearbox out of a...

Circlip book:D hahaha
Take the circlip out take your car for a spin the revs will be even worse, the circlips there to stop the butterfly touching the throttle body housing.
So explain this to me how come this problem doesn't happen to any other cars just ph1 172s?
Take apart throttle...
Hahaha OMG.....
How can you say that its not the circlip that causes side to side movement???
The circlip is there to hold the spindle tight. If the butterflys not in the middle of the throttlebody it will catch causing the revs to stay high,
that's why blipping the throttle will make them...
Yeah there's no side to side movement on a new throttle body or grease on them, because the circlip is tight and new.
I know loads of crap get in them but its not enough to stop them working, you would need to take every throttle body off every car if dirt was the problem.
Look at a ph2 they...
Im not here to argue either mate im just letting people know how to fix a problem.
I've had a brand new throttle body in my hand and there's no side to movement on the spindle.
If you tap the circlip back in so the butterfly is back central in the housing then it won't stick and you won't...
:eek: Didn't realise this would cause so many issues.
Russ_16v you've even said before in one of your posted that its the side to side movement of the butterfly that causes the sticking problem.
You also said that this cannot be fixed, well it can if you do what ive said.
Haha don't tap it too far then, you only need to do it to stop the side to movment of the butterfly.
Look at how many posts there are of people who have oiled/greased the spring and spindle and its only fixed the problem for a few days.
After recently purchasing my ph1 172 i've had a number of problems with the high revs/throttle sticking.
It has nothing to do with the spring or the throttle cable, i've tried greasing them but it only fixes the problem for a day or two.
There have been so many posts about this that are...
