Your throttle pedal is electronic and not controled by cables anymore.
So there is sensor that sense's what postion your throttle body needs to
be opened or closed. The sensor probably needs to be replaced.
The
whole pedal assembly will have to come out and be replaced as it is all
one unit. They are easy to take out. I learned about these at the SRT
Track Expereince when the Charger that I was driving stopped having so
much go and the ETC light came on. They showed us how to replace them
and told us that they have to replace them all the time and keep them in
stock due to people mashing the pedal. It is all plastic and you don't
have to mash these like the old system.
You can try resetting the ETC
as well. Place you
r car
in the run position without starting and depress the gas pedal and
release all in 2 seconds (1 down and 1 up). You should hear a
confirmation "ding" if done correctly and you have know reset the sensor
to know when you have open throttle.
You are still safe to drive your vehicle but you need to get it fixed or you are not going to get good performance.
