Default Pedal Sticking

I have a 05 Mustang GT w/ 500 mles on it and the throttle sitcks. Has any one else had any problems like this. I checked the pedal , but could not find out why is is sticking. I heard the throttle is fly by wire , so I dont know how it can stick.

FIRST TAKE THE GUM OFF THE FLOOR.


CHECK YOUR FLOORMATS. SOMETIMES THEY TEND TO JAM THE PEDAL. AND ITS DRIVE BY WIRE INSTEAD OF FLY BY WIRE. THEN AGAIN MAYBE YOUR CAR FLYS TOO.

This is someone elses signature file from a different board, so I give credit to 05GT on The Mustang Source Forum. But still thought it was funny, and fit well with this thread.



We figured out the problem with the tire wear. You see the tread on your tire works a lot like the sidewall does. When you let all the air out of a tire, the sidewall goes flat, and is no longer usable. If you let all the smoke out of a tire, then the tread goes flat, and is no longer usable. Now I'm not gonna tell you to quit letting the smoke out of your tires or anything like that, I just wanted to make sure that you are well educated on the workings of the modern high performance tire.

Is the pedal sticking? Or just the throttle? If it's just the pedal than clean it. If it's the throttle get a flash or have someone check it for you if you don't want to check it out.

I wonder of you can pump smoke back into the tires!

Once you let all the smoke out of the tire with your mustang - can you still use the tires on a Toyota?
