accelerator pedal

Postby jonnyshag » Sat Aug 19, 2006 11:53 am

my accelerattor pedel seems to be very sencetive and i cant hold a steady speed without it jurking the van , if i keep the pedal still sometimes the power would go under or over, its really hard to keep a steady speed even in traffic, anyone know whats wrong here???

my van is Sreg TD

I assume your has the electronic pedal, so I would say the pedal itself is kaput :(

You only need two tools in life: WD-40 and Duct Tape. If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40. If it moves and shouldn't, use the duct tape.

:? :? no theres a switch thingy hard to describe but clean that out with an airline then tighten the top pedal pivot up so theres no sideways play also clean all the pins /connections where the plugs plug into
