I OWN A 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY LE. THE ACCELERATOR HAD BEEN STICKING FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS ALL THE TIMES AND PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORST. I HAVE TO STEP ONTO THE PEDAL HARD VERY OFTEN FROM A FULL STOP TO UN-STICK THE PEDAL ON A ROUTINE BASIS. ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO, THE CRUISE CONTROL RACE UP AND DOWN, THEN NOT RESPONSIVE FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME. SINCE THE ACCELERATOR IS A CABLE SYSTEM, I HAVE TRY TO LUBRICATE THE CABLE LINK MANY TIMES USING DIFFERENT LUBRICANT, BUT NOTHING WORK. THEREFORE, I AM DRIVING AROUND WITH A STICKING ACCELERATOR, AND CANNOT BE SURE IF IT RELATES TO THE POSSIBLE ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS. ONCE IN A WHILE THE ENGINE RACE UP AN DOWN WHEN THE CAR IS IN IDLE. THE FAILURE IS CONTINUOUS. THE MILEAGE ON THIS CAR IS NOW ABOUT 157,000 MILES. *TR

WE HAVE A 1998 TOYOTA CAMRY IN WHICH THE ACCELERATOR SOMETIMES STICKS AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN DRIVEN AND COMES TO A STOP FOR A STOP SIGN, RED LIGHT, ETC. THE ACCELERATOR SEEMS TO BE ALLOWED TO BE DEPRESSED A VERY MINISCULE AMOUNT AND THEN IT STOPS OR GETS STUCK. IF YOU PUSH DOWN HARD AT THIS POINT IT CLICKS, RELEASES, AND THE ACCELERATOR IS ALLOWED TO CONTINUE TO BE DEPRESSED AS FAR AS YOU WISH. WHEN IT CLICKS IT IS AS IF IT POPS OVER WHATEVER IT WAS STUCK ON. *TR
