your problem is more than likley just a bad or misaligned switch mounted on the pedal arm. Or possibly a bad wire or connection.

i just went through a similar problem only to find out that the ground was all rusty. changed the ground and hasnt caused a problem since. the first thing you should do is check your grounds. this solves 90% of all electrical gremlins.
