Does anyone else have a Gas Pedal Problem? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

DVG's 2010 SS2 · 10-02-2009, 12:31 AM

My car is a 6-speed automatic and I have noticed when I quickly accelerate on the freeway and release the gas pedal to coast the engine remains at the higher RPMS (+4,000 rpms) and the tac slowly returns to 2,000 RPMS. Is this a gas pedal cable issue?

There is no gas pedal cable,it's called throttle by wire and it's electronic.

Takes awhile for the computer to figure out you don't want to haul ass anymore, so it holds you in a lower gear to aid acceleration?

Just a guess

There was a thread about it. It just stays at a high rev for a couple of seconds in case you plan on getting back on it.

Mine did it today. I like
the idea. The it's wound a little longer somyou can jump right back in it. Not a problem.

And it holds it alot longer at higher RPM in S mode than D mode also.

If you drive any of the 3.8 million toyotas recalled, then you have a problem.

Im havign a problem in my new chevy truck, on the highway it losses power and almost stalls, the dealer said its the gas pedal? I have no idea why or how, unless they mean its the electronic throtle body ?

Brokinarrow · 10-02-2009, 11:35 AM

Yeah, I have a problem with my gas pedal too. For some reason it seems like it weighs a lot more than it should, and I always find myself having to take my foot off of it to slow down!

hmm, yeah if the throttle is somehow nearly closing I guess? Is it a manual transmission? Or maybe the dealer is just full of

and doesn't want to admit that he doesn't know whats wrong with your truck
