Accelerator cable sticking
I'm venturing in to the world of unknown really - no accessible funds for a garage at mo and my local garage guy cant do it til friday - when his boss is out! But need it doing today really…so am hoping I can do it myself - is this recommended? Lol
so was wondering if any of you lovely lot knows how I check this? And if I can tweak/adjust myself also or how do i know the difference between the cables broke to it just needs a tweak? Where do i look? Is this a step by step guide anywhere? Also Am I messing up the car if I drive it like this etc?
Any help would be massively appreciated x

on the right had side of the carb is the cable
you can kinda side the cable coming in the front right hand side then it goes round a rocker thingy
when to twist it the accelerate is should spring back instantly, notice the big spring
then follow the cable bad and then is disappear into the bulk head, through a rubber grommet. just make sure this is free and the cable isn't trapped or has big kinks in it
then you need to look under the dash at the top of the accelerator pedal. the cable should connect through a rubber grommet at the top of the pedal
it's hard to see but in the right position you can see it
got have look a report back

I can see everything you say springs fine and cable etc, not trapped or anything.
Looked under throttle - no niggles - all fine - the pedal goes down and comes back but is sluggish - almost needs my foot to pull it back up at last cm or so if makes sense?
I can't see the what happening at front whilst I test pedal - wish I inspector gadget arms -
Does that help?
