Wife's 2005 Chrys. T&C, 45K miles, 3.3 eng., accelerator will not
depress--just rarely/intermittently--when light changes and you attempt to
accelerate, or in stop-and-go traffic, or from stop sign--ALWAYS from
idle.
After tapping pedal lightly w/foot 1-2-3 times, it depresses normally and
pulls right off. Car starts, accelerates, stops, maximum-accelerates,
quick-stops, with absolutely NO driveability issues ever. The pedal and
cable are free all way to throttle body--cruise cable also. You cannot
make
it stick with engine off, even by closing throttle valve lightly, yet
completely against its stop. Cannot make it duplicate problem while
driving--just rarely it does it w/NO warning. Been serviced regularly,
including air filter changes even before getting dirty. Very few short,
cold drives. Otherwise, it's perfect, and just began this about 3K miles
ago.
Ready to sell retail to get top $, but gonna fix this 1st--already
installed new brakes and like-new tires from our replacement 2007 just
like
it w/17K miles.
Anyone seen same symptoms? I have ideas, but just theory, as I have
NEVER experienced it or heard of it, even with the literally 1000's of efi
vehicles we've sold thru our used car dealer****p.
Thanks for advice. sdlomi2
