My POS was the ford. I abandoned that thing.

The last post referred to a 2015 jeep. No response to the fuel system from the peddle to ? Was it a pot to a controller in the ignition system? A pot to the injector system??? Who knows, unless you have the Chrysler codes. Either way, you don’t need a set of sockets and spanners to repair such an issue. You need the computer to diagnose and a new module to repair.

Not necessarily. On a lot of the new Fiat-made Jeeps the problem is the sensor came unplugged because it was not properly assembled. A $45 Bluetooth or Wifi OBD2 interface box and the common smartphone is all the gear you need to diagnose the throttle pedal sensor on that if the sensor is plugged in. If it isn’t plugged in, you need a couple of hands and one working eyeball. :)

However, that Jeep might not have revved with the brake pedal depressed anyway due to recent mandated interlocks after the Toyota runaway incidents. For me the question would be if it would go into gear - if it won’t, go into gear while idling, it is often the brake switch.
