Accelerator Problem - Toyota Yaris Forums

mutatio · 12-18-2008, 07:40 AM

Started the Yaris today. It turned over but when I press the gas pedal no response from the engine. Any help, please? Possible fuses? Is my computer fried?

TIA. :-)

In between the last time that you started the car successfully, and now, did you do anything to the car?

Make sure there is nothing stuck under the gas pedal like the floor mat or a small puppy.

I think they make creams for that.

if anything the pedal needs to be checked...as the actual pedal internals may have failed.....(drive by wire)

Sounds like a TPS-Throttle Position Sensor. Pretty common on drive by wire accelerators these days. If you had a scangauge, you could verify by seeing if your TPS reading changed when you step on it.

Generally its a whole pedal assemble replacement, not positive on the Yaris though.

I think tinkerbell got stuck in the throttle body.
