HIGH REVING IF PULLING AWAY QUICKLY
 
My little e reg 340gl seems to stick on high revs if i have to pull away quickly, of if i go at high speeds for a while [on motorways].

MY friend who is a mechanic doesn't have any idea why, so suggested asking you guys.

Any ideas?

I'm gonna preface this reply by saying I know nothing about CVT's.

There is a 'low gear hold' vacuum line and associated servo, I think. Is it possible that one of these lines is cracked or the servo is stuck?

I'm sure that someone more knowledgeable than me will reply to this.

Hello,

Is it possible that the accelerator inner cable is catching on the outer sheath?

This sound a bit like a problem I had on my old 265 when the accelerator was 'floored'at any time the cable jammed - also after running at higher speeds for a time.

A dealership put the problem down to the cable jamming on the carpetting as it went through the bulkhead.
