Default Re: check your throttle pedal

When it slid up, it would keep the pedal from hitting the go button, not getting full throttle, and in fact was bending the metal part of the throttle cover. The metal you see on the throttle isn't attached to the hard plastic pedal. It is mounted in rubber and slid over the hard plastic pedal. You might want to take a look at yours...I took mine apart, repaired it, and put it back in. Car is fine, driver needs work...
Maybe it was just trying to get out Doc. But I think I'll check mine anyway.
