mrrat1 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Good day all, Seems that the gas pedal sure is touchy, what I mean is when cruising along if I go over uneven pavement seems the bouncing of the truck will make the revs fluctuate. It could be me but I have been trying to up the avg fuel economy (13) by coasting down grades and easing into the gas. Just using a light right foot altogether. Do we have throttle by wire or cable?/ I was going to try a heavier return spring. Any ideas thanks DaveK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black03zr5 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I know exactly what you are talking about. I got used to it after a while and don't really have any problems anymore. Every once a while I hit it a little to hard by accident. We have throttle by wire. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcairns Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 I have noticed something similar, when I shift from 1-2 at low speeds/acceleration, the slight kick from the shift can make my foot move a bit, causing a slight oscillation in my speed. Problem goes away if you just keep the accelerator to the floor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r8rs4lf Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 Funny this is brought up because I've noticed that a while back. Ever since I dropped my truck and added the rims with the lower profile, it has gone away pretty much. I figured all the bouncing which was making me fluctuate the gas pedal was caused by the wider sidewall and the suspension set up. Lower profile tire + drop kit + turn down torsions= Late- Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leo67 Posted March 21, 2005 Report Share Posted March 21, 2005 solved 90% of that problem by sticking most of my foot over the pedal and rest the side of your foot on the hump,, it seems to feel more like a cable. guess the friction from the rug helps,, took a little bit to get used to but it's better than the fluctuation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WisconsinSS Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 There is a little town I have to drive through regularly that has a 30MPH limit. The local PD there is very strict about tickets. I have noticed it is difficult to keep the SS at a steady 30MPH. Kinda like a caged animal ready to spring! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bgdsub72 Posted March 22, 2005 Report Share Posted March 22, 2005 My truck does it too, never had any problems like that with any of my other cars, but this is my first electronic throtle by wire vehicle...guess its just sensative... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
