Engine Not Reacting With Thr0ttle

[Red Air Rambo]

When was the wastegate, variable controller, and turbo last overhauled?

Dennis - when you said "Then another thing which was strange that I could not pull the throttle back, it was like it was stuck in same position" - was the throttle physically stuck, or just that it was not responding when you pulled the throttle back?

So I was just thinking about one more possible item. Is there a way to check that the cable is not broken. We had a problem early on with the prop cable, the housing was fractured.

Thoughts?

no all control cables were inspected or over hauled when the plane was At Brant Aero . before next flight I asked my work shop to lubricate the waste gate too and I was at FL200 for 2 hours with some ice and minus 12 degrees and heavy clouds ,and every thing worked fine, I have to admit P337 is little brave aircraft and handled ice very well with no degradation in performance at all .

If there is moisture in the cable at altitude there can be situations where the frozen moisture can restrict movement

Hello Jeff
the throttle lever was stuck and I could not move it back, had another Flite last week again two hours in clouds -12 degrees , come light ice all the way , I had my work shop asked to lubricate the wastage and there was no problem
