Re: 2001 Honda Odessy - Gas pedel sticky
 

All,

Thanks to all that replied. Believe it or not I am bringing the car back to
Honda today for the third time within the last 20 days to fix this. They
cannot get it right, and have actually made it worse. Strangely enough I
have always used Mobile One full Sync. Well, hopefully they will get it
right today. Thanks again.

All,

Thanks to all that replied. Believe it or not I am bringing the car back to
Honda today for the third time within the last 20 days to fix this. They
cannot get it right, and have actually made it worse. Strangely enough I
have always used Mobile One full Sync. Well, hopefully they will get it
right today. Thanks again.

Woody. Thanks for the information. And interestingly enough they did change
the EGR.
