been having this issue for weeks. I'll start the car, let it warm up and then I'll shut off...I then tap the gas pedal and let go and it holds like I'm still on it. Any help would be great. Recent work done before this issue was replaced water pump belt tensioner and idler pulley and also egr valve along with the rcm resolder. I replaced the egr thinking it was that causing the issue. Then had the rcm resolder by DJ Tighe thinking it would solve the problem, but no. Please please please please any ideas?

 

Are you saying the pedal stays down after the engine STALLS? Need more info, Woody Manassas va.

 

Good question, people tend not to answer posts that are not at all clear. It's tough to answer questions that are not clear.

 

I'm thinking dying throttle body. good time for a forced upgrade to a srt6 74mm tb that will swap right in, they can be had for $50 on ebay

 

​​​​ if it's fly-by-wire then why would the pedal stay down when it stalls🤔. Inquiring minds need to know 😉 feedback from the throttle body Maybe?

 

unless I am misreading, I don't think the pedal stays down, but rather the rpms stay up when the pedal is released as it is spring loaded to un-depress. there is nothing mechanical/electrical that would hold the pedal depressed

 

I hit the pedal and let go, the rpms still stay but I'm not on the pedal anymore. I posted a link for the video to help understand.

 

🤔 I don't know' the Op said I start the car let it warm up then" I'll shut it off" and then tap the gas pedal and "it stays down "as if I'm still pressing it. According to what the Op wrote, sounds like it's not running. I don't know maybe they just didn't use the right phrase.

 

Now I understand when you said shut off you did not mean turn the engine off you meant let up off the accelerator pedal 👍 I got your meaning now

 

Sorry, actually trying to describe this in written form is complicated. When I first crank it up, it'll idle fine. I can hit the gas pedal and it'll rev then drop back to normal idle. Now I shut the car off and turn it back on to make sure I dont get the high idle before actually start to drive...I hit the pedal the rpms hold at around 2k as if I'm still on the pedal but I'm not. If you watch the video, you'll see what I mean.

 

And what video would that be ?

 

Check his first post

 

O yea. Thanks !

 

I watched the video. That seems dangerous. You rev up and then the engine doesn't rev back down.

 

Yes I'm afraid to actually put it in gear and drive it

 

Going with needswings comment,
Can try this for an easy, cheap possible solution.

 

Video sure looks like the butterfly is sticking open. Have you tried opening the hood and closing by hand ? (is it reachable ?)

 

You say when you first start, by that do you mean when it is cold and the first start of the day?
How long before it starts OK and the trouble starts again? After it has cooled down again?
I'm guessing air leak, did it just start acting like this suddenly?

 

if its the throttle body...im just going to upgrade to the 74mm. I bought one a year ago and never installed it...couldn't hurt

 

just started acting like this. I start it up and let it get warm, cut it off and turn it on immediately after. Tap the pedal and I get the issue
