Consumer Description

PCM MODULE/CRASH DATA REPORT SAYS THAT THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR WENT TO 100% WITH ACCELERATOR AT 60% AND THEN THE THROTTLE STAYED WIDE OPEN UNTIL ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS RELEASED TO APPROX 23% PERCENT. WHY IS THERE A 40% DIFFERENCE IN THE PCM DATA FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL POSITION TO THE THROTTLE POSITION. AT THE TRIAL A GUY FROM FORD SAID THIS IS NORMAL AND THE THROTTLE IS DESIGNED THIS WAY. MY HUSBAND IS NOW ON HIS WAY TO PRISON. IS THIS TRUE AND CAN ANYONE HELP OR ADVISE US.
