I have reoccurring problems with throttle sticking in full power, this of course gives a problem when entering the curves. Is there anyone ewith a good suggestion on how to solve this problem? I am running the GP2 with the Thrustmaster T2, on a 486/DX4-100, and the problem is not mechanical. -- BRGDS Alf Peelen *** ALABAMA *** Team manager of Alabama Racing Team Driver of "Chichas de Clark" & "Berg Regulators" Snail mail: P.O.

guess.

feature that allows mechanical failures? Just a that pedal is probably dirty! The way to cure this problem is using a good contact/tuner cleaner, you can find this at a good electronic repair shop. Just spray inside the potentiometer (small hole) generously and move back and forth your pedal to make the cleaner work all around the contact inside the potentiometer, by the way do the same to other potentiometer ; steering wheel and the other pedal, if you do this regulary,you won't have any problem anymore GOOD LUCK!

Calibration problem perhaps? you say its not mechanical....are you sure? Pots not sticking are they? I have the exact same set-up as you, and I have never had any problems? (486/dx4-100, & T2) Although I don't use my T2 much. Peter #:?) Please note my real e-mail address below,
