Re: Please read and give me your 0.2..

If you are between year 3 and year 5 (36- 60 months) from your in-service date and under 100,000 miles you are subject to the $100 deductible at your friendly Ford Dealer. Since you can get the CPS for under $100 and its easy to change, most people don't bother with the dealer on that one.

Now if you have an unidentified electrical gremlin ( I see now you are asking about the pedal assembly) and you are still under warranty, that $100 may be money well spent (if you have a good dealer nearby). Since the pedal assembly and CPS are related to engine performance and emmissions I think these are covered under the engine warranty. Anything they find not engine related would be full buck though.

Did you change the CPS already?

Did you check for loose battery cable (particularly grounds)?

The pedal assembly has a microswitch and a rheostat I think, but don't remember which component typically fails. Its serviced as an assembly. I think the pedal throws a code more often than not.

Guys-
How can we 'backyard' trouble shoot the pedal assy to determine it too has a problem?
What goes bad on the pedals???

The stopper on the pedal lets it move to far IIRC>

I think that's the problem Hammer was having when he floored it. The more common failure is for you to go to press the pedal and just get no response, just in normal driving circumstances. It may kick back on sporatically but I guess the switch just fails. And yes the whole assembly gets changed out... $120 or so is about the cost of the pedal assembly IIRC.
