Description (français)
L'axe du papillon des gaz du carburateur peut ramasser de la saleté et user les paliers sur lesquels il tourne. Les plaques secondaires d'accélération peuvent alors rester partiellement ouvertes après que le conducteur a relâché l'accélêrateur. Dans un tel cas, le moteur ne reprend pas son régime de ralenti, ce qui peut nuire à la maîtrise du véhicule et fausser les distances d'arrêt.
