Hetty Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Hi Can anyone tell me what might be causing my 2.25 petrol Series 3 to be over-revving? When in idle the revs build up to max revs. Many thanks. Ian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve b Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Welcome to the forum Ian Can you expand on it a little ? Is this a new problem? Anything been changed recently ? It could be the distributor is loose and has moved . cheers Steve b Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
secondjeremy Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 What's happening to the throttle and its linkage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lo-fi Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 Got to be a return spring is broken and the weight of the pedal is causing it to throttle up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cornish Rattler Posted March 4, 2020 Share Posted March 4, 2020 I had this years ago on my then S2a and it turned out to be the bulkhead was flexing due to rot, was ok revving it stationary but when driving and coming to a junction and braking the engine would go to a fast idle till you stopped, renovated the bulkhead during a ground up rebuild curved it 🥱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
