Dangerous problem

[kodiak]

Yeah, I had to remove my custom gas peddle for that same problem. On the way back from the 2008 Moab trip I let Eric the friend that went with me to Moab drive the last stretch on the way home. He stopped at an intersection in Price for a red light. It was late at night and there was no traffic any where. Well just as he was about to stop he started slowly creeping in to the intersection. The look on his face was classic. It was like he was getting ready to say,”I think you’re gonna need a Bigger Boat.” I now what the problem was because I’d done it myself. Well, about a car length in to the intersection I lean over to him and say. “Your foot’s on both peddles.” To this day I still give him crap about that.

I took it to the dealer. they checked it out and said that it needed the gaskets replaced. and the injection tube was stuffed with carbon. They tell me they have seen this problem with this engine. now that the top end has been cleaned and gaskets replaced. it runs like a champ and the idle is smooth as can be. it apparently had never been done, as they said it was as bad as they have seen. anyway you were right big swede. with me. i was completly stopped and had been for about 20 seconds. waiting on a light, when this happen. in my case it was not big feet or wrong pedals. anyway an expensive lesson. all is well at this point and i thank you for your comments. satch

, I drive barefoot as much as possible, and wear narrow shoes when I can't (I'm a size 12 also)...

Takes a couple weeks to "retrain" yourself - then I bet you NEVER go back!

I got it fixed it was bad manifold gaskets. Big Swede you were right on the money. also the tube was filled with carbon and had never been cleaned. now it seems to run just fine and i will keep my fingers crossed. don't want to buy anymore bumpers.. thanks. Satch.
