I just had a look at a 9000 for sale, when starting it up the throttle seemed to be a bit sticky, revving upto 2500 rpm or so and wasn't responding to pedal modulation for a couple of seconds, after a couple of prods it did return to what would be a normal idle

is this known issue?
easily (cheaply) fixed

what say you?

I never had that happen on my manual aero but it did happen on my auto. It never caused a problem to be honest but that's just my experience. (Any grammar or speeling in this post has nothing to do with it being a Saturday afternoon!)

I was able to take this car for a drive today, and the throttle was quite disconcerting, the engine seemed to want to keep revving, whilst in a 30 zone I had to keep my foot on the brake to stay under the limit. At one point the revs were fluctuating quite noticeably. This was an auto box.
There were no warning lights showing

Lovely car other than this issue.
