Accelerator pedal is stuck Inspection

SKU 20484 Category

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.

Osweld Dube Prompt and Insightful

Monday July 28, 2025 I requested a quote to replace Brakes on my car and was booked immediately for 11:30am. Osweld arrived 30 minutes before and was helpful when I did not have the correct parts. Having spent the entire day to get the correct parts and do the replacement. Although I was not present during the replacement, my husband was, and he was very friendly and knowledgeable. Fantastic Service. I would hope to have him as the mechanic in my next round of repair/replacements.
