I hope this has a simple solution.....
Was driving about today rather slowly in second for long stretches when I
went around a corner and uphill.
As I increased the pressure on the accelerator pedal it acted as though I
was on one carb or I was running out of gas.
I pushed to the floor but almost no power. It sat idling fine.
I looked down at the pedal and it WAS down by the floor.
I used my toe to pull it back level to the brake or a bit closer and POWER
BACK.
This happened once before after a trip to the mechanic and I figured out the
quick fix when I got home ie lifting the pedal.
I couldn't see anything down there that would explain this behavior.
Any suggestions? I assume there is something I need to tighten but I sure
didn't see it.
Thanks so much in advance.
