Wife's 2005 Chrys. T&C, 45K miles, 3.3 eng., accelerator will not depress--just rarely/intermittently--when light changes and you attempt to accelerate, or in stop-and-go traffic, or from stop sign--ALWAYS from idle. After tapping pedal lightly w/foot 1-2-3 times, it depresses normally and pulls right off. Car starts, accelerates, stops, maximum-accelerates, quick-stops, with absolutely NO driveability issues ever. The pedal and cable are free all way to throttle body--cruise cable also. You cannot make it stick with engine off, even by closing throttle valve lightly, yet completely against its stop. Cannot make it duplicate problem while driving--just rarely it does it w/NO warning. Been serviced regularly, including air filter changes even before getting dirty. Very few short, cold drives. Otherwise, it's perfect, and just began this about 3K miles ago. Ready to sell retail to get top $, but gonna fix this 1st--already installed new brakes and like-new tires from our replacement 2007 just like it w/17K miles. Anyone seen same symptoms? I have ideas, but just theory, as I have NEVER experienced it or heard of it, even with the literally 1000's of efi vehicles we've sold thru our used car dealership. Thanks for advice. sdlomi2
