| Description of the problem | On numerous occasions i have had an issue with pressing the accelerator pedal but getting no response from the vehicle and after 5-15 seconds it goes under full power and lunges forward. I have also recently had 2 situations where the vehicle slowed up unexpectedly while driving and at the same time my rpm meter would start jumping up and down and again with no response from the accelerator pedal. In these 2 situations i pulled off the road, shut the vehicle off, sat for about 2-5 minutes and then started it up again with no issues. I have read some other posts about this issue stating that this could be the throttle position sensor however i have not had mine checked yet. |
