unplug it, clean the connector, spray a lil bit of WD40 on it & try again!

right i was driving down the road and i put my foot down n the acceleration just decreased to naf all looked under bonnet and the part where the accelerator cable goes onto the throttle body had just snapped off so ive got another throttle body wi all the trimmings off ebay n its still the same with the throttle position sensor low volts so it cant be something wrong with the sensor surely it must be something else causing the low volts, what do ya reckon
