Fuel pedal
Sometimes when driving my engine feels like it is holding back, and all of a sudden it comes to life. if i press the pedal down to where 1500 RPM should be, most of the time engine goes to 1500RPM, but sometimes it goes up a little a a split second later it jumps up to 1500 RPM. I am told it may need a new pedal. is this correct?

Some have had luck cleaning the TPS & IVS with contact cleaner.....You can test it also....
Info here:
You need to put a voltmeter across the GY/W and the GY/R wires on the connector to the TPS. With the key on, watch the voltage across the range of the throttle to see if there is any flat spots. You should see no less than .37 volts at idle position and no more than 4.5 volts at full throttle. The the third wire, (BRN/W), is the ref. voltage and should be 5 volts all the time.

The pedal assembly comes out with 3 bolts & 2 plugs,, get it on the bench with some contact cleaner , & spray it in it the switch lever inside the unit , while activating the switch,, there are 2 switches , the throttle pedal sensor & the idle validation switch....
