has anyone else had a gas pedal that will stick down and wont return until you pull it pack up? I have oiled all of the hinge points but it didn't work. I have resorted to putting a spring on cable linkage, but it still sticks sometimes.
any suggestions? |

I don't know if this is your problem but this is what was causing mine to stick. I replaced the cable and I made sure it was not wrapped in the tunnel but it still stuck sometimes.
I made sure the cable was routed correctly to the engine which means shortest distance possible. I looked under the car and noticed that there was a sharp angle when the cable came out of the firewall. I took a small fuel line and cut it to 2 inch length then split it and placed over the cable near firewall and secured tightly with zip ties. This prevented sharp cable angle coming out of firewall. No problem since. Good luck with your cable problems. Terry |
