2003 Gas Petal Issues
Hi all,
I have noticed that the new drive-by-wire gas petal doesn't really feel that natual like old style gas petals. I petal force seems really hard and the first portion of the petal travel doesn't accelerate the rig much (good for low-range off roading though).
This really sucks and I hate to say it but I cannot drive this way. I love it but even after driving for 30 minutes my calf starts to twitch then go into cramps! Now I don't sit on my coutch all day so it isn't like the only leg excersize I get is driving
Anyone else having issues/comments/whatever or is it just my stupid leg
Thanks, Scott

Take 1,000 mg of a calcium/magnesium/boron mix daily to help with the cramps. Otherwise, I've no idea what you're talking about, and wish I could help but can't. These things have learning ECU's and may eventually adapt to your style. If it's been over a month and 1K miles with no improvement, start doing calf-raises with weights every other day!

Yeah, I ment pedal; wish I could spell what I mean
I think it is pretty funny too. I mean who has ever had a gas pedal cause them to not be able to drive their car because it is uncomfortable??
The truth of the matter is that our family owns three cars and I cannot drive the 4Runner for more than 30 minutes unless I want my leg to cramp up.
BTW: I take a multi-vitamin and a potassium-magnesium pill already
Guess it is just me...
