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
