I have a 93 Uno 1.1 I.E, with Bosch fuel injection.
The car has been laid up a few months, but started regularly and ran & drove fine. Now that I've tried to drive the car today, all of a sudden the accelerator pedal sticks to the floor!! And won't come back up when you release your foot, unless pulled hard by hand.
Seems on the throttle body, the pivot lever that the accelerator pedal cable fits onto won't move very well at all.
I tried spraying some WD40, on the pivot spring and lever but to no avail.
Not sure what to look at, or what to try as I've never had to fix or diagnose a fault like this. Is there a common part that fails, or something that needs cleaning or greasing?
Would really appreciate some help, as don't want to risk driving the car as it is.
