TOYOTA 7FGU30/65637 Excelerator problem.LP gas

Has excelerator problem.Doesnt go full power sometimes.{Like a flat spot in carburatored gas engine}.Mash it wide open ,It acts like its at 1/2 throttle.will slowly pick up power.Let up ,try it again its ok.Seems to work much better ,slowly mashing the throttle. Could problem be excelerator switch? Thats what Im thinking{.Acts sort of like a bad pot on an electric lift}.Kent

Sounds like a sticky throttle plate to me and given the fact no engine lamp on I hardly believe a throttle pot failure. You should be able to remove throttle body and clean with carb cleaner and rag however be careful of spring tension on butterfly ( it is strong and unforgiving to fingers). I would also check all hoses to regulator and balance tank (located on fan shroud or radiator, two hoses) Congratulations on your business adventure,BEST of Luck

dont remove the throttle body, you can spray some carb cleaner down the chamber after removing the airhorn from the top. Just dont get to happy with spraying it and flood out the engine ;o)

Don't mess with throttle body, big mistake. It is usually the throttle pot on accelerator that needs to be electrically centered. Do not use solvents on pots!

You also have to electrically center the throttle pot. And I found if you try to accellerate without the pedal stops, will code out.
