Hi Gang, I found no solution in the archives so here is the problem.

1975 911 S with 1983 911 SC motor

At warmed up idle I punch accelerator, car revs normally to 3-4k rpm
The return to normal idle <1k takes 7 seconds.

At the engine shroud, accelerator/throttle linkage seems normal. Spring tight and snaps back quickly when depressed.

At pedal end. With carpet and floor board removed accelerator linkage seems sluggish to return to rest.

With engine running I can manually pull pedal linkage to normal idle in appropriate time.

Is there a spring to assist the return of the pedal in the '75S?

Is this a bushing issue at the pedal end? (Car is 37 Years old but only has 40k miles and has spent its entire life in a cool.garage- please don't be the bushings)

Any thoughts?
