Pete,
If cleaning the relays as Rich described doesn't work, consider the throttle position sensor on the pedal itself. Check and make sure its plugged in and is not loose or damaged. I actually had to replace my sensor. They can be found at Williams Controls for about 115.00. If it is an internal issue with the Jake it would normally send an check engine lite. Hope this helps Good Luck Slim Somerville 99LXi Tennessee --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, "g_man1146" wrote: > > --- In WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com, Pete Masterson > wrote: > <<<<<<<SNIP>>>>>>>>>>>>> > > 2.
