The accelerator cable needs oil.

do you oil at the pedal ive squirted abit grease where the cable is under bonnet ?
thanks

No. The cable needs to be oiled. Disconnect the cable from the position sensor. Raise up the end and make a little funnel from plastic or aluminium foil. Pour in some light machine oil eg 3 in 1 or bicycle oil. Leave it for a period to travel down the cable.
