Consumer Description

AFTER DRIVING FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, THE ACCELERATION PEDAL SUDDENLY BECAME COMPLETELY UNRESPONSIVE. I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE BY DEPRESSING THE PEDAL TWICE BUT, TO NO AVAIL. AT THIS POINT, I WAS COASTING BUT, THE CAR WAS IDLING AT EXACTLY 2K RPMS. LUCKILY, THE ROAD I WAS ON WASN'T TOO BUSY AND I WAS TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE ROAD, INTO THE GRASS. AFTER WHICH, KILLED THE ENGINE. I WAITED ABOUT FIVE MINUTES, STARTED THE CAR, TESTED MY ACCELERATOR, AND IT WORKED AGAIN. SO, I WAITED FIVE MORE MINUTES, TESTED AGAIN, AND DROVE HOME. NO OTHER INCIDENTS THUS FAR. I'M GOING TO TEST THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR'S (AND ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR'S) SEATING, CLEAN THE CONNECTORS AND, IF NECESSARY, REPLACE ONE OR BOTH OF THE SENSORS. *TR
