    Default problem

    Well I was driving today on a main road and all of a sudden my accelerator stopped working.. Luckily I was able to catch a side road and pull over (BARELY). I put the car in drive and got nothing. Then I turned it off, started her up, got nothing in drive... then I took out the tuner from the glovebox and switched back to stock and after that it worked...

    anyone know why this happened? is it just a coincidence that switching the tune back to stock made it work, or could it just have been after a small wait in time? has this happened to anyone else?

    btw I have the superchips tuner

    Thats a glitch in the flash or program. You basically lost your drive-by-wire function so it didnt know you were pressing the gas.
