Accelerator Pedal doesn't work

Sometime it does, sometimes it doesn't. Put the pedal to the floor & nothing happens; let off & do it again & it smokes the tires. Connections @ the pedal assy are tight. Any suggestions? Please don't say HPOP....2002 7.3 Excursion. I doubt this would have any bearing but it did just get a new tranny. The wife is parked in a parking garage with it and is afraid to try to leave!

It is a fly-by-wire so to speak assembly. No throttle cable. If the potentiometer in it is shot you will need a new one. Let me guess, starts fine for the most part, all it does is idle, correct?

Starts perfect. Even goes down the road. I drove it yesterday and it had no problems at all. The problem is intermittent. Where is the potentiometer? How much do it cost? Thanks for the quick reply too! I gotta take the son to football practice so i'll check back later. Thanks again!

As I understand it, the potentiometer is part of the pedal assembly and cannot be purchased individually. I do not know the price.

Go to practice, if nobody gets it before me I will post the info after I pull it up. I am trying not to generalize anymore when I can help it.

Alan, I thought I read several faults in the manual that would result in an idle only condition. I hate to dig. I don't remember the intermittant start part. Bail me out, I'm trying to drink beer.

What a PITA today was at work.

Do you have adjustable pedals on the EX?.I am not sure about the Excursions but our 2002 SD had a recall on the go pedal. Had it fixed way back in late 2002 or 2003. May want to check that out also.....
