Pedal not working while car is running and ticking noise in throttle body

If the vehicle will stay running with the gas pedal slightly pressed, its most likely a problem with getting the correct volume of air into the engine at idle.

Mitsubishi parts look up doesn't show an idle air control valve. It looks like the throttle body is electronically controlled (no throttle cable or idle air control valve)

I would try cleaning the throttle body.

Mitsubishi Endeavor LS How to clean throttle body can

I suspect that the throttle plate is stuck and the motor gear that drives it is trying to move it closed. Remove the throttle body and clean out the deposits.

cam or crank sensor failing

epc is short for electronic pedal control, the throttle is controlled by an electric motor and has two angle sensors in the throttle body. the pedal it self has two sensors as well, sometimes after a battery replacement or replacement of certain parts (ecm throttle body pedal controls) the control modules need to be reset or "relearned" to one another. the dealer or independent shop with correct softwear can do this, if problem persists possible bad throttle body pedal sensors or ecm (engine control module)

Try this: Go to your local parts store and purchase a can of (throttle body cleaner) you will take your air filter out and remove the big tubing that is connected to your throttle body and filter housing. Spray the cleaner inside the throttle body, open the (butterfly) and spray around the pivot the butterfly opens and close on. What happens is you get carbon build up in these areas and it causes the gas pedal to feel like it's stuck and have to apply more pressure to the pedal. You will see alot of black carbon run out of the throttle body. Take a clean rag and wipe down the area of the throotle body. Repeat the cleaning 1-2 times. put your air inlet tubing back on and re-install your filter. It may seem hard to start at first but it's drying out the cleaner that was sprayed inside the body. Try this and see if this works. I've done this on many vehicles that shops want to charge $300 to do and all you need is $5 cleaner. It's very easy to do and takes 20 min.

Pull the large hose off of the throttle body that come from the air filter and clean all the carbon out of there if is real bad pull the throttle body so you can get to both sides and clean use carb cleaner

the throttle housing must be adapted to the engine control module. it will take a scanner or a tool like vag-com. good luck.

it is a dirty throttle plate. $280 is an absolute ripoff for a cleaning, it is about 10-15 minutes of work. They are probably quoting replacing the throttle body which about a $150 part.

Got to Autozone and get "CRC Throttle Body Cleaner". Remove aire inlet hose at throttle body with a screwdriver. Spray a *small* bit onto throttle plate, use clean rag or qtips to remove gum/varnish. Spray pivots and also clean around perimeter of the plate. Take it to an independent mechanic if you are unsure of the procedure.

hi is it miss-firing as it sounds like a knocking noise can be anything but if you can feel it on the accelerater pedal then the noise sounds like its on the inlet valve side which would transfere the noise up the throttle body where the accelerater is located it could be something as simple as a tappet come loose to a burned valve you need to have a look do a compression test and take the rocker cover off see if theres anything come loose yates210456

That sounds to me like the catalytic converter is going out. suggestion, take it to a muffler shop and have them check it out. As for the ticking and missfiring, mine has done the same thing for a while and I keep throwing out a vacuum leak as well as Throttle position control, cruise won't work as cruise, it will actually slow down on hills from 70-40 mph, but I know both are the problem, solution, the throttle position control is under the air intake, take the air box off of the throttle body and replace it after having autozone run a check. From there..... find someone good at mufflers as well as vacuum leaks and fix it. lol.
