Last Saturday I went to move my 2002 f250. 7.3l out of the drive way. Started up funny so I let it idle for a couple min to warm up. Put it in reverse and hit the pedal and got nothing. Back in park and would rev up to about 1k. So I shut it off took out the key and waited a couple min and tried again. This time no problems. Sunday drove it to church and on the way home got a dead pedal once. Went to drive it today and got a flashing od light and no peddle again. I knew I needed a new assembly so I went and got one. Came home and found the problem. Btw this one I pulled out was a dorman also. Changed it and runs again and no flashing od light. Guess the trans didn't see the pedal

 

No one has seen the pedal spread like that I wonder what made it do that

 

Well, I'll be forked.

 

Maybe your mechanic was trying to lower the idle rpm lol jokes aside that is definitely odd though.

 

That's a new one for me too. Glad you found the problem though.

 

Is that from holding it on the floor too hard??? haha...
