    I have Volvo FM12 380 and I when I press the ACCELERATOR PEDAL there is no acceleration. I already checked and replaced the relay sensors but that wasn't the problem. I also checked and replaced the pedal sensor but the truck still won't accelerate. The engine turns on, my truck is on, it just won't accelerate forward. What could I do? What is wrong?

    Did you check that the actual accelerator pedal itself isn't bad, they do wear out and even replacing the pedal position sensor will not help it.

    New pedal with the sensors is plug and play with 2 bolts holding it on.. there is a video on YouTube showing how to replace it.. when I did mine it was 260 or 280 for the pedal.. I love YouTube lol

    Lmao, that’s exactly what I intended to say when I clicked on the thread. To hell with those new edge emissions and electronic junk. Ok so to ad actual input, get yourself a scanner or have the truck acanned

    Hey now. My volvo out accellerates most when I am loaded. But since I got these pricy Michilin XDN2 sneakers I have been babying the heck out of them.
