THROTTLE VALVE PLATE STICKING. THE GAS PEDAL HAS TO BE STEPPED ON HARD WHEN YOU FIRST START UP AFTER SETTING A WHILE. I'M TOLD THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE UNIT USES ON MANY OF THEIR VEHICLES MINE IS ON A 2001 BUICK LESABRE WITH A 3800 ENGINE. WALDECKER PONTIAC, BRIGHTON, MI TOLD ME THIS ITEM WASN'T COVERED ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED (6YR/100000 MILE) I HAD 94,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE BUT THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN AROUND FOR AT LEAST 10000 MILES. I NOW HAVE 101600 I'D LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT WASN'T A WARRANTED ITEM. THIS ALSO COULD BE CONSTRUED A SAFETY ITEM AS WHEN YOU STEP HARD ON THE PEDAL THE CAR SURGES FORWARD SLIGHTLY. I'M AWARE OF IT SO I AUTOMATICALLY HIT THE PEDAL AND RELEASE. *JB
