2001 Caravan Gas Pedal Sticking
Frequently, the gas pedal will stick as I'm driving. I can be cruising
on the freeway and when I want to accelerate, the pedal will be hard to push. Eventually, I can get the pedal to work, but it is scary. The pedal can also be hard to push after the car has been setting for a while. Unfortunately, when I take the car to the dealer, this problem never happens. The Caravan has a 3.3L V6. Any ideas?
