Accelerator Stuck

[leeshell]

Today I was driving in traffic around 10mph (2nd gear), after a gentle brake I went to re-apply my foot to the accelerator pedal and it would not go down. It seemed solid and didn't budge at all. I coasted into the side and tried again with no difference. I then hooked my foot under the pedal and pulled up, it didn't appear to move that way either but when I tried to push down everything was fine.

I drove home without further trouble.

Anyone else had this? Anyone know why it may have stuck?

Thanks for any replies, Lee.

I feel a little sheepish now.

When I looked earlier, nothing was out of the norm.

I've just inspected again now and I noticed the carpeted wall lining (which is metal) behind the pedal was loose. I gave it a prod and it swivelled around (it's a right angled triangle in shape) and it fitted perfectly between the upright part of the footwell and the rear of the pedal.

The silicone is no longer sticking it, so I'll put it right at the weekend.

Thanks for your replies (at least it's not mechanical )
