The accelerator pedal in my 2000 986 Boxster S has a left right wobble and is stitchy, so I bought a second hand fly-by-wire accelerator complete with potentiometer (wherein I believed the spring was sticking) to sort the two issues. I gave them to my mechanic and had him swap them out.
But - he said when he did so the engine just revved out with the new pedal fitted and didn't respond to the throttle. He ended up swapping back to the old pedal and the car straight away went back to normal accelerator response. I'd to pay him for his (wasted) time. :ah:
Anyone know if there's a solution? The play and notchiness are spoiling my driving experience so I'd like to swap to the other pedal.

You can get rid of the notchiness by taking the assembly apart and cleaning and lubing all the pivot points. My throttle was very stiff and had a lot of "stiction", so I used some white lithium grease when I lubricated it, and it took care of the problem.

I've actually seen a how to guide on this on a forum, possibly this one - but the having to de and resolder evrything rather spooked me to be honest....

There was no soldering involved, just cleaning and lubing the mechanical parts of the pedal assembly.
