| Post subject: | Throttle Sticking, WOT |
Something new today. The throttle on my '05 CRD stuck at wide open. The wife called and asked me to come and get the Jeep from a dirt field as that was were she ditched it when the throttle stuck wide open after a hard acceration. I drove it home and as I approached the driveway, I floored it. Sure enough, it stuck WOT. I turned off the ignition and coasted into the drive. The pedal was all the way on the floor, but after about 10 seconds it popped back up and I drove it into the shop. Any recommendations? |

When mine did it, it was the floor mat, an easy fix. |

A common but very serious issue with factory floor mat. If it is not properly secured, it can shift and get under the pedal. |

Yep, I've experienced it a couple of times with aftermarket floor mats. They creep up and get jammed at the side of the pedal. Now, if it was a Toyota I'd have driven it off the road and claimed it was out of control but since it's a Jeep I just reach down and give the mat a yank

I wish it were that simple, but the mat is about 1 1/2 inches from the bottom of the pedal when at full throttle. I have the heavy Jeep brand mats that are held in place by a clip attached to the carpet. When it stuck yesterday, the mat was where it normally lays and the pedal was flat against the floor. I am going to pull the peddle assembly and see if something has gotten into the mechanical parts causing it to jam. |

Both the 05 and 06 CRDs are throttle by wire (the gasser apparently still uses a cable as there is a hole with a grommet for the cable). The drive by wire system uses 2 sensors (1 on each side of the pedal) to sense the pedal position and apply the appropriate amount of throttle. The top portion of that assembly is hidden behind a black plastic trim panel but there should be some sort of spring to return the pedal to the upright postion once your foot is removed. I know mine has a lot of upward pressure and snaps back up smartly. |
