Hey Michelle==It really depends on what kind of car but probably the clutch and brake pedals are binding where they pivot. and the accelerator is binding in the cable. Sometimes you have to completely remove them to properly lubricate them and replace the acc cable. GoodluckJoe losing presure in the rx-7 the clutch eases down to the floor Which pedal? If gas, I would lean toward a throttle bore cleaning.
If this is not something simple, like a floor mat getting caught up in the mechanical part of the brake system (pedal) then you have a major brake problem (failing master cylinder) and you need to get this looked at without delay. On anti-lock brake systems (ABS) this can also mean a failure of the ABS system. I would not suggest driving vehicle under any circumstances; the chances of killing yourself (or ME) on the road is very high.
Any time the brake pedal is hard to press then you need to check and see if the brake booster is functioning properly.
replace rotors, or on some newer gm's it might be bad ft. hub from abs
have your brake rotors turned on a lathe, or replace them with new ones.
The part of the car that turns on the brake lights when you apply pressure to the brake pedal is called the brake switch. Releasing pressure from the pedal causes the brake switch to break its electrical contact, turning off the lights.
the engine timing needs to be adjusted
I had the same problem for almost a year and damaged both engine mounts and trans mount. The fix was simple. The throttle body was gummed up and sticking. Took it apart and cleaned it with carb and throttle body cleaner and no more sticking. Smoothest pedal in a year.
try checking the gasket around the intake that should fix it
WD-40
Clean the throttle body with a spray throttle body cleaner.
you will need to replace the throttle cable, and while you are at it check the return spring.
Check and clean the pedal system and the cable that it connects to. Lube any connections necessary, and make sure that the return spring is working, if your ATV has one.
Nissan almera pedal sticking
same thing started happening on my '97, you will probably need to have a new clutch cable installed. when they get old, sometimes they will start to fray which causes them to stretch and causes your pedal to become sticky.
How do i fix the TPS pedal position sensor in a grand prix pontiac 2004.
When brakes will not release when a foot is off the pedal, this is called sticking. There are various reasons for brakes sticking, but the most common involve an obstruction with the brake cable or the brake pads physically sticking to the drums or rotors. The safest way to remedy this problem is to have a professional inspect the vehicle.
Alecia, Sounds like the switch near the brake pedal is sticking. Check the switch and the pedal height adjustment. I know it sounds complicated but it really isn't. This problem should be fixable with adjustments to the switch and/or brake pedal. . John In Montana I had the same problem. There is a plastic piece on the brake pedal that pushes a solenoid when the pedal returns to the upright position. Its a round white piece about 1/8 inch thick. If it is completely missing you will only see the hole where the piece fits. As a quick easy and cheap fix I simply superglued a penny over the hole. Not the best looking fix but it helped keep my battery from draining.
the butterfly tends to get gunked up. remove air intake assembly to get to throttle body butterfly. i used an old toothbrush and some carb cleaner on it to remove buildup.
