help clutch slipping?

[pjthedj89]

not had my trophy that long, today getting in my car i started it up and the engine started reving the nakers off on its own so i knocked it off and tryed again and it did it again.
i dipped the clutch and it was still reving itself but i put it into gear and pulled off its was still reving without pressing the accelarator pedal, i drove it down the road and it was fine.
this happpens sometime when i open it up at high revs but i select another gear and its fine.

is this the clutch???

No, nothing to do with the clutch. Someone else had a similar problem recently.. Most likely an airleak in the inlet manifold.

Could be a sensor, like the air flow meter plug. I had this problem when i left the plug off when i fitted my inlet manifold, caused the car to rev its nuts off. Have a look in and around the inlet manifold for loose connections e.t.c

Or the vac feed to the acoustic valve perhaps?

Either the plenum is letting in air and it has not been seated / tightened correctly to the inlet manifold or you have a dodgy accelerator pedal.

 

[hoolio]

you have a dodgy accelerator pedal.

Sticky potentiometer.

'Tried'. You're welcome.

That is almost certainly an air leak
