Consumer Description

THROTTLE STICKS AT INTERMITTENT TIMES UPON ACCELERATION. INTERMITTENTLY, WHEN FOOT IS REMOVED FROM GAS PEDAL SPEED DOES NOT RESULT IN DECELERATION. WHEN PROBLEM DOES OCCUR THERE IS NO KNOWN WAY OF STOPPING IT. I JUST WAIT IT OUT UNTIL THROTTLE CORRECTS ITSELF. I AM UNABLE TO TELL IF GAS PEDAL REMAINS DEPRESSED WHEN PROBLEM OCCURS. HAVE TRIED PRESSING THROTTLE TO FLOOR QUICKLY AND RELEASING WITH LIMITED SUCCESS. HAVE TRIED PLACING TRANSMISSION INTO NEUTRAL, BUT THAT ONLY CAUSES ENGINE TO RACE. SEEMS TO BE OCCURRING MORE OVER THE LAST FEW DAYS. *TR
