Default 90mm TB sticking.

I am not sure if this is the right spot. So mods move if you must.

When driving my car, the throttle seems to be real hard to push, and once it gives, I way over power the car. lol. Not only that, but it seems to stick at or around 1200rpm's to 1900rpms. I have to tap the throttle in order for it to back off.

Is there something wrong with the blade sticking in the TB. Or is it a wire issue. Or maybe a tune issue. It is SD tune by the way, I am not sure if that will help or not.

Sounds like a problem with the TB blade sticking. Common on some of the 90mm TB's.

Yeah it is nice and smooth, infact there is a little slack in it at the TB. The cable itself is smooth to move back and forth. Its a NW 90.

I too figured it was my TB myself, cause everything with the cable seemed fine.

havent heard much on NW TB sticking but I know FAST 90's have, I have one and yes it sticks, I just attached a spring to the part of the TB where the throttle cable is and then to my lid, it gives it a lot more tension so it wont stick.
