Kws808 07-10-2006, 11:39 PM Well today i was on my way home and all over a sudden my gas pedal went dead. I turned off truck and let it sit for about two minutes and it started working.About 20miles down the road pedal went dead again.Has any one expearianced this before? Any help would appriceated. :help::help: zr2yz125 07-11-2006, 10:09 AM At first, it sounds like the TPS went bad. There is an electronic sensor connected to the pedal. In the sensor there are 3 resistive elements. The computer checks to verify all of the 3 elements are giving the same signal back. If one of the elements gives a different resistance back to the computer, it will cause a CEL. The fact that it is going dead and not throwing a CEL sounds more like the connector might be loose. Look by the pedal and find the big black sensor stuck to the side. I would check the wiring to make sure its not damaged. I know on the corvette you cannot buy the sensor alone, you have to buy the module with the pedal attached -:t Kennedy 07-11-2006, 10:12 AM How old is the Copilt and does it interface with teh APP? What codes are being set? While not impossible, it is highly unlikely that your APP module went bad. zr2yz125 07-11-2006, 10:15 AM While not impossible, it is highly unlikely that your APP module went bad. I agree, they dont just "go dead", hence the triple redundancy... Kws808 07-11-2006, 12:36 PM I have the older copilot i dont think it taps in to App sensor. Also it did not set any codes. duramaxdavid 07-11-2006, 01:22 PM Well today i was on my way home and all over a sudden my gas pedal went dead. 1st problem is you have a gas pedal on a diesel. j/k sorry i dont know anything about this Kws808 07-11-2006, 01:26 PM Well on my way to work this morning and got check engine light. Pulled code and got P0103 Code. Got to run will check back later Thanks lakingslayer 07-11-2006, 03:37 PM Well on my way to work this morning and got check engine light. Pulled code and got P0103 Code. Got to run will check back later Thanks That's a MAF code. McRat 07-11-2006, 04:08 PM Explain a bit more about your "dead pedal". When it has dead pedal, can you get up to 1800 rpm? Just wondering if you're actually seeing a "hidden" 1093. lakingslayer 07-11-2006, 08:43 PM When I blew my intercooler hose off the SD manifold I got MAF codes and it wouldn't go above 50mm3. Another possibility. Kws808 07-11-2006, 10:59 PM Well when the pedal goes dead i can put it to the floor and it will just idle.Also when it happened today I put in 4Low to get off the road and it started working again. I would like to thnk all of you for taking the time to help me with this problem:thankyou2 lakingslayer 07-12-2006, 10:31 AM I'm starting to think it may be a bad connection somewhere since it's intermittent. Could also be a flaky ECM. Kws808 07-13-2006, 11:02 PM Truck ran great for the last 2 day's and today the pedal started acting up again.Where should I start looking if it was a bad connection?:help: :help: Kws808 07-15-2006, 02:32 PM Any ideas? Please Need Help:help: :help: SuprAdrenaline 09-20-2006, 08:23 AM I'm experienceing the same issue, although it doesn't happen unless I take my foot off to coast and then as I apply pressure, nothing is happening. This doesn't always happen, and actually is not frequent at all, but nonetheless frustrating when you have to release and then get on the pedal again in order to get out of the way of something from a standstill. I found out early that this is fly by wire, but rather than dole out $200+ for a new APP, is there a way to clean/lube it or is it totally solid state and no mechanical parts within that would benefit? :help2: | ||
