Unresponsive accelerator pedal: replaced with new same problems
Edit - this now happens every cold start. I appreciate the help in advance!
On my 2006 Volkswagen Golf Automatic with 228k miles, when you first start the car there is no response from the accelerator pedal.
I replaced it with an OEM part from ID parts, and the same problem exists with the new part. I had the Rockford TDI guy scan it with Vagcom and there were no codes for the pedal, but we both thought it might not hurt to try to replacing the peddle and thought the potentiometer in the peddle was bad.
The car will start an idle, Even in Park it will not respond, or from park to reverse, I have to shift into neutral back to either reverse or drive while feathering the pedal for it to start working. The only time it is intermittent is at start. Once the pedal works, it works for the rest of the time I am driving.
What other things should I look at?
