| Description of the problem | 10 minutes after start up i began to travel in drive gear of automatic transmission. Upon acceleration the pedal was dead, i. E. No power. The engine was running fine. After the truck decelerated to about 10 mph the pedal was back and working. This happened again after about 20 seconds. This behavior continued for 30 minutes and stopped. It was colder that morning (10 degrees f). The pedal also had run away acceleration at times before the pedal went dead. I thought it was fuel related but that doesn't explain the run away acceleration. I believe it an electrical problem with the apps system? Very scary though. I hope it doesn't die crossing and intersection. |
