| Description of the problem | 2006 toyota avalon gas pedal does not provide power until depressed over 50 percent travel then it suddenly provides power representative of half throttle. The check engine light flashes on and off when it does deliver power under this condition. On rare occasions when moving from stopped position the car accelerator is overly sensitive and acts like i just stomped onthe gas pedal and not the slow movement i gave te gas pedal to make a slow movement of the car. I have gotten used to the way it drives and it has been this way for the past 10 months. Today the gas pedal has very little response to throttle response. I cannot drive it this way and having car towed to dealer for service. Some days after driving over 30 minutes the car acts normally with exception of check engine light illuminated. *cn |
