Good morning, happy Friday.
I would like to drive the red "turbo" car to see the Orange County mafia at Crystal Cove tomorrow but my gas pedal keeps popping off. More specifically, it's the cup on the accelerator rod that attaches to the ball in the linkage on the floor that keeps popping off. I am not seeing any means of adjusting that fit so it doesn't pop off, but I'm still a newbie here and was hoping that you guys would be able to offer ideas and things to check. I may have a spare rod that I can try, but any ideas on how to resolve this and or common issues? This is a 911 diagram, but it is a very similar set up. It's number six that keeps popping off |

most probably it is a bad pedal. If your pedal rocks from side to side, it is bad and you need a new one. They are very inexpensive these days as our friends at URO make a good reproduction. That very problem is discussed in my book "tech tips 700" as years ago as a kid I too thought that there was something wrong with the linkage, but eventually found out the real reason. With a new pedal you will be surprised how much better the car will drive!!

It's number six that keeps popping off I do not agree the gas pedal would cause it to pop off. If the clip if they and expanded it will pop off. Bad bushings in the accelerator crank will allow side to side movement. Check you gas pedal by moving it side to side. They rust internally at the base. |
