right past 4 weeks ive noticed my car needs a lot of revs to move form a holt, and especially hills, i put it on a diagnostics because the EML came on and it came up with water collant sensor which i then replaced, the MAP sensor which i then replaced and now a throttle aculator? anybody help me out with the throttle aculator, i noticed my accelerator cable is loose, would this explain my idling issues and needing a lot of effort to pull away, my car is also running rich?

Sounds like your clutch is slipping if the revs are still ok. How is your cable loose?

What rpm does your engine idle at?

it hunts for fuel at idle mate, drops and sometimes cuts out then shoots too like 1500rpm and drops to sometimes low as under 500rpm

Doubt it's hunting for fuel tbh. Sounds more like the idle air control valve to me or an air leak

its stinking of fuel tho what explains that? it seems to stutter at low revs like hesitates to want to go but then as it picks up then its fine, so just at low revs?
