L300 6 cylinder wagon
Parents just bought one. I'm surprised by how much pressure the accelerator
pedal takes to get the car moving from a stop compared to other cars I've driven. Wondering if this is typical or should the dealer check it. |

Have the dealer take a look. Mine feels normal, and I've owned ~20 cars. I
test drove a new L300 4 cyl and the pedal had at least 3/4" of dead space before it would do anything. They must be adjustable. 2002 LW300 "Art" > wrote in message .net... > Parents just bought one.

Called Saturn dealer service dept. Service writer did not know but he
checked with someone and said there was no adjustment to the drive by wire throttle control. For what its worth. "Dana Rohleder" > wrote in message ... > Have the dealer take a look.

What I am talking about is simply adjusting the pedal - or possibly it is
binding or something is interfering with the motion of the pedal, like a floor mat. -- Dana C. Rohleder Port Kent, NY "Art" > wrote in message ink.net... > Called Saturn dealer service dept.

I took a look at the gas pedal with a flashlight. All it is is a pedal
attached by a bent rod to a plastic box and a connector at the top of the box with wires coming out. No obvious adjustment ability of the spring unless it is inside the box. It is my father's car and I drove it today after not driving it for a week and the pedal felt better today. Might just need some breaking in.
