I have a 2004 Sequoia that runs great. Lately it seems the accelerator pedal is overly sensitive. Just barely push on it an the engine races. I took a look and there is no throttle cable, it's all done by wire. It's probably always been this way I'm just more aware now trying to get the best fuel economy possible.

Does anyone know if there is a sensitivity adjustment or way to "soften" the response, at least for the first part of the throw?

Thanks in advance.

Its funny you should mention it... I own a 2007 Sequoia and it only has 4200 miles on it. This past Sunday I was starting from traffic when I gently stepped on the gas pedal when the Seq. jumped from 0 to 60 or 70 mph .it took me off guard, i then pressed on the break trying to stop the vehicle or at least slow it down a bit but every time I took my foot off the brake the truck just wanted to take off totally out of control. It kept doing this for about a good minute.. Scared the chickens out of me. I thought for sure I was going to hit someone or something. I called for a service appt. which was today and it happened again on the way to the dealership. I was 5 minutes from the dealership and they could smell the brakes. I explained the problem and they first said it was probably b/c I had 2 car mats on the driver's side that possibly caused the truck to accelerate. Of course I dispute it They said the rug probably got caught on the pedal. When I showed them how far the two were from eachother they then said it would get a diagnostic check. 4 hours later they told me it was the "BRAKE BOOSTER".
APPARENTLY MY PROBLEM WAS NOT THE ACCELERATOR, BUT THE BRAKE ITSELF. HERE I THOUGHT EVERY TIME I STEPPED ON THE BREAK i THOUGHT THE ANTI-LOCKS WERE KICKING IN WHEN IN FACT THE BRAKE WAS TREMBLING, A TOTAL MALFUNCTION... I am now waiting for the part to ship from Japan.....G R E A T..
So maybe you should get yours check. Good luck
