Car won't start after pedal install

mwhit02 · 11-17-2012, 05:53 PM

I installed a different gas pedal and did the procedure to relearn the throttle position sensor, however it didn't work and now my car won't start. Service engine light is on too. My car is a manual, so I wonder if that has anything to do with the procedure not working. Help me out!

anyone? This is the procedure I tried:

Turn ignition ON (dont start the car) wait at least 2 seconds
Turn ignition OFF wait at least 10 seconds
Turn ignition ON (dont start the car) wait at least 2 seconds
Turn ignition OFF wait at least 10 seconds.

no idea.. put the original pedal on and call the dealership, you should still be under warranty. then once it goes in ask them to swap the pedal for you.

I sold my touring gas pedal

Can the dealership just reset the throttle position sensor with their computer?

do this.

1. Push start button twice to get - Ignition "ON", count to 3.
2. Depress/Release pedal 5 times - hard and fast.
3. Count to 10 (not 7!) and fully depress pedal.
4. Count to 12 (SES should be blinking), release pedal.
5. Count to 10, depress pedal.
6. Count to 10, release pedal.
7. Turn off ignition, then start engine. ECU reset is done!
