In light of all the gas pedal problems we have seen lately, i would like to share one which i encountered two years ago on my 1999 corvette. being a professional engineer, i was able to pin-point the problem to the brake pedal much better than my dealer. my local chevy dealer wanted me to replace the car's battery, since that was the first code he saw when he scanned the computer. naturally, the car didn't need a battery so i drove away from the dealer. the symptom was at any time the car would pop-on the engine trouble light and immediately slow down. the car could only be driven up to 20 mph. this happened about six times without incident. i could reset my computer, but the issue soon returned. i replaced the electronic gas pedal assembly and the problem was fixed. *tr

Fuel pump failed without warning. car lost all power instantly. car would start but would not run for more than 30 seconds. throttle had no effect. if the pump ahd failed in traffic, during an evasive maneuver or while attempting to cross a busy road, the car would have been without power and unable to avoid any other oncoming vehicles. other late model corvette owners have reported fuel pump problems on the internet; this is not an isolated incident. this failure has the potential to cause a major accident if not corrected. *ak
The vehicle was started up then turned off. there was a whisteling sound, and white smoke was noticed coming from the right rear wheel, the vehicle was then back up and flames where noticed. the fire department put the fire out, and determined the cause was the fuel filter. chevrolet has been contacted. *ak
