Sticky gas pedal since 2002 Accord was new

Tegger,

Thanks so much for your explanation and help.
I did call the dealer I bought the car from. And there IS a TSB for my car.

They said to pursue this further with the dealer I am having it serviced at- and because it’s a documented problem that was never adequately fixed it’s covered under warranty. I will attempt to get my dealer to fix this, but at this point I do not trust them.

The dealer I bought from is 150 miles away but it will be worth it to return it to them.

I love my car and have had no probs with it except for this ongoing problem. Will let you know how this all works out

Thanks for your help Tegger.
Bottom line- they’re gonna fix it!
I had to call Honda customer care to get it addressed, and I have to take it to the far and away dealer to get it done, but it will get fixed gratis.

I would have just sucked it up and never questioned them without your help.

Incidentally, I spoke to the tech who did the work at the dealer who "diagnosed" it last week. He said he never took off the valve cover and PCV valve to inspect. They just gave me a price for what they said "should fix it".

Thanks once again

You're lucky. Unless it's a Safety Recall, TSB repairs are often your responsibility when the car's out of warranty. You must have been nice to them.

He's a bad boy. He obviously doesn't know enough to check for TSBs and recalls, which is the FIRST thing that should be done.

Thanks once again.

I love happy endings.
