mbdoc...now that I think of it, my throttle cable guide broke, and I replaced it last weekend ! (little plastic piece at the end of the linkage)

I feel like a dummy

This may be the cause, the mis-adjusted accelerator cable...I remember turning the little wheel on the cable assembly to remove slack on the cable, it gave me a very responsive accelerator (touch and accelerate) ...may be I over did it, and it may be pulling too much on the cable, hence either activating (or not activating) the switch too soon (or not soon enough) !!

Will remove some of the tension later this evening and will drive around to see what happens.

I will report back.

Thanks for the responses !
