Description
The accelerator pedal is stuck Inspection
Assuming the linkage between the accelerator pedal and the engine is unobstructed (something you can check visually by checking around the accelerator pedal or floor mat for foreign objects that may be obstructing the path of the accelerator pedal), a sticky accelerator pedal is almost always due to accumulation of unwanted goo at the throttle body. This makes the action of opening and closing the throttle a notchy, imprecise operation.
Common reasons for this to happen:
- The throttle body is stuck
- Gas pedal sensor malfunction
- Accelerator cable broken
- Accelerator pedal return spring broken
What to expect:
A top-rated mobile mechanic will come to your home or office to determine the cause of the stuck accelerator pedal, and will then provide a detailed inspection report that includes the scope and cost of the necessary repairs.
How important is this service?
A stuck accelerator pedal presents a potentially dangerous situation and should be inspected by a professional mechanic as soon as possible.
