I'm just wondering if anyone else has a vehicle with an overly sensitive throttle and if there is anything that can be done to improve it. My car is a '97 Ford Escort wagon. I find that the throttle is very jumpy, it is hard to make small throttle inputs such as driving around a parking lot or trying to add a small amount of throttle when going downhill. I feel I could squeeze out a little more fuel economy if I could more easily make very small throttle inputs. I have heard of people adding a hand throttle but i don't want anything that extreme. I'm pretty sure you are not supposed to lubricate a throttle cable. Could I possibly change the return spring on the throttle body? I may also try removing the throttle body and cleaning it just in case there is any gunk in there exacerbating the problem. Anyone have any thoughts?
