Last week I got in my GL after work and the gas pedal felt a little funny. I
drove down the street thinking something must be up with right where the
pedal connects to the throttle cable. Lucky I was on a side street when the
pedal sticks to the floor and the van is beginning to accelerate. With a
knee jerk reaction I put the van in neutral then pull over and turn the key.
I look under the van at where i thought the problem was and everything seems
fine? so I think follow the throttle cable. I open the engine hatch and low
and behold there is a large walnut jammed in the throttle body. That was an
easy fix that actually gave me a laugh. However today I open the hatch to my
westy different van and there sitting right at the throttle body was a nut!
it looked like a Brazilian nut. It was not big enough to cause a problem. I
actually cracked it open and ate it!
