Vehicle is not currently near me, was intitally under time constraint, and without proper tools, could not see a throttle linkage. Plan to drive the car home. Just wondering if anyone knows where to spray some lube to free it up. I'm sure I can figure it out without a tip, just trying to save some time.

 

Probably because you don't realize that the 2.7 has an electronic throttle lol.

 

I suppose that is why when I press the pedal down it wont come all the way back and it over rev's, but when I stick my foot back under the pedal and pull it back , it stops over revving?
No problem, I fixed Copy machines for 30+ years, I'll be sure to take my multimeter with me so I can track down which IC chip, resistor, diode, SCR, transistor, relay switch, capacitor, or cold solder joint is impeding the gas pedal movement. I'll also be sure to take some John Deere penetrating lube and bar and chain oil to lube up any mechanical " movement " of the pedal just to be on the safe side. It can't be much different than any of the farm machinery, military equipment and radio's, or my last 40 years of cars I've worked on. I might not be up to date on everything, but hey , can't have anyone questioning my skill set can we?
Considering my massive investment of $500, I've decided to take a particular interest in investigating the 2.7, do a little work on it, and see what I can get out of it. Sometimes one has to question the naysayers! I'll take a jack as well, in case one of the flats actually need changing if the portable compressor can't blow it up because of a number of possibilities, including tire pressure being controlled electronically.

Thanks in advance Magnoom, for your tip !.
