Pedal Trick?
« on: 24 March 2009, 17:38:05 »
Should the pedal trick work on all cars? Is it auto only or manual as well. Just tried it on my 1998 MV6 manual and can't get it to work.

I can't even see which light should flash. Watched the video but the light that is flashing in the video seems to be different to mine. Mine looks like a towbar??? :-[

Hi Scott
The pedal trick only works on the drive by wire cars ie later Facelift.

Thanks guys.

I have done paperclip test and no codes. Just seems to be running a bit rough especially just after start up and is making a strange whistling sound when accelerating?

Any ideas?

Thats what I thought but no idea where its coming from. Any places favourite? Its only done it since I put it back together after cam belt and cam cover gasket change.

Get the engine idling then spray carb cleaner around the plenum area and vac hoses. Any change in the engine, you`ve found an air leak ;)
