E-gas accelerator pedal service

[jakeru]

Then you'll need to desolder the 6 wires underneath the cover, and remove the e-gas potentiometer wiring harness from the housing. It just pulls out.

Next, there are three tabs you can lever away from the housing's inside surface with a very small, flat screwdriver. Then, push upward on the shaft to press out the spring and potentiometer assembly from the housing. (Be sure to keep track of the orientation of things so you can reassemble in the proper orientation - recommend using a sharpie to mark index of things, or take photos as you go.)

Now, clean all the dirty surfaces that rub against other surfaces, and lubricate them.

I recommend using a plastic-safe grease here, such as silicone or PFPE grease (DuPont Krytox is a brand name of PFPE oil and grease.) There are two coaxial coil springs, which I managed to lubricate without complete assembly. I found one dry part of the inner spring that needed lube in the picture shown. (Basically, you'll want to make it so the springs rotate smoothly and without stiction or noise.)

The shiny, worn area on the outer spring was also making contact and needed lubrication.

A rib in the housing this spring was rubbing against was also noticeably worn (worn spot visible in attached picture). I decided to lightly lubricate the whole outside and inside surfaces and ends of the spring, some accessible areas of the inside spring as well, as well as the whole length of the ribs inside the housing, before reassembling.

Thank you for sharing this. Would you mind sharing a link to a video if possible. Then What kind of lubricant are you using?
