 | Accelerator Pedel Does anyone else notice this with there accelerator pedel, whenever you hit a bump or even a slight hump in the road, the pedel goes down further, its like its really loose and easy to push. So when you hit a bump your foot goes up a little and pushes the pedel down further when you come down. I dont know if that makes sence, Ive re-worded it like 3 times. 2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2 door shortbed (if anyone cares) |

| Its because you have drive by wire meaning you are only moving a sensor when you step on the gas pedal that tells the computor to accelerate and yes i have noticed they are more sensitive than the older style where you actualy move a cable which moves the throttle |

| You could also try adding a spring to the setup so it pulls your throttle closed. |
