I don't know it is related issue but saw Q and A in local newspaper yesterday.

DEAR DOCTOR: I purchased a new Ford Taurus in 2004. Shortly after delivery, I felt a rapid vibration in the gas pedal. I took the car to the dealer and they repaired it. Now 20,000 miles later, the same feeling is back. What can cause this problem?

John



DEAR JOHN: In order for you to feel vibration coming from the gas pedal, there has to be a mechanical contact between the gas pedal assembly, cable or throttle body. Start with an inspection at the throttle body and work back to the gas pedal bracket assembly under the dash. Also, go back to the Ford dealer and ask for a copy of the previous repair

some more Q and A

DEAR DOCTOR: I own a 2007 Honda Civic. The manual says to use 5-20 HD motor oil. I went to the auto parts store and found 5w20 oil; however, it did not have the HD letters. Will this oil meet the factory specs?

Gary
DEAR GARY: Today there are many different oil designations. The letters HD in the oil industry can have different meanings for each oil company. You can interpret it as heavy duty or high detergent. As long as it is high-quality oil, has the API logo and meets the oil spec designation required by the vehicle manufacturer, you are safe. Look on the oil container for the rating and compare it to the rating in your manual. As of now, the SM rating is the highest.

DEAR DOCTOR: I recently purchased a new Toyota Prius. I live in California and am able to use the high occupancy lane because it's a hybrid vehicle. Is there any problem with getting right onto the highway without the engine being warmed up first?

Bob



DEAR BOB: With any vehicle, it is always best to drive at a moderate speed until the engine has a chance to warm. I recommend letting the engine idle anywhere from one minute with temperatures 40-plus degrees Fahrenheit, to three minutes below 40 degrees.

My 2 months old 2008 LX 4WD have the same problem. I called dealer and they said there is no linkages between the engine and the pedal because it used electronic control. So the vibration is not coming from the engine. I probably will bring it to them for a check. Did you solve this problem?
