gas pedal problem was the pedal has a gear that turns a electrical potentiomter. the design has some openings where the fuzz from the floor mats can get into the gears. the fuzz if it gets into the gears will cause them to jam and prevent the spring from fully returning the pedal to the off(idle) position. the fix is simply to place a shim into the hole that covers the gears so no fuzz or dirt or matts or bugs or other foriegn matter can get into the gear assembly. The assembly is mounted to the fire wall with an insulated mat against the firewall all around the pedal with fuzzy insulation that can touch and or be pulled into the holes and into the gears... This insulation mat is mounted on the fire wall on most all cars to keep the noise and heat down. In this case, the fuzzy insulation touches the gas pedal assembly or is next to the gas pedal.
are you starting to see how simple the problem is??
Most cars will never have a problem,, a few will have fuzzy insulation too close, other cars will have someone push or somehow pressue the insulation pad by pulling a wire for a sterio, and accidently push fuzzy insulation into the pedal gear assembly.
why are there little holes to let the fuzz in??
That is the the basic problem. again, the fix is a small shim that slides in and covers the gears so no fuzz and get between the gears and jam them. They could have simply took a pair of sissors and cut the insulation fuzz mat away from the assembly as well but the shim is a better fix from liability standpoint.

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
