Engine & DrivetrainDiscussions about the engine and drivetrain of your vehicle.
This is a discussion thread titled "A First for Me", within the Engine & Drivetrain forum, part of the Technical & Vehicle Assistance Forums category.
This morning, 2 degrees at 8am, I go out to start my truck so it'll warm up for a few minutes before leaving for work. It starts right up and I head back in the house. About 10 minutes later when I jump in and put the truck in reverse and start backing down the driveway my idiot light comes on. I assume it's just the o2 sensor and decide I'll take care of it after work, no biggie. Once I get in the street I put it in Drive and hit the gas. Nothing happens! Huh? Turn off stereo, heater, look around... yep still running. If I push the gas pedal as far down as it will go I get some power so I make it around the block then go in my house to regroup. A few minutes later I go back out start it up with the intention of limping to the dealer a few blocks away. Everything works fine! So I continue to the dealer and ask them to read the code and reset the check engine light. The service manager tells me the code, one I've never heard of... 'Accelerlation pedal out of range'. He resets the light and documents the diagnosis in case it recurs and I'm on my way. Weird, all I can guess is that some icing caused a little glitch either in the computer or along some lines. Anybody else ever have this happen?
My check engine light came on about two weeks ago and also thought it was the O2 sensor. The technician called me and told me the problem was because the gas cap was not tight and that could also cause the light to go on. Oh well...the lights gone and I'm a happy camper.

aguevarra, there is an o2 sensor TSB. If your bumper-to-bumper hasn't expired you might want to have that looked into. A lot of things can cause the o2 sensor to cry foul. My came on once before as well. But if the o2 sensor itself is bad it's a couple hundred dollar to replace.
Originally posted by justagirl Wow! Thanks OKCTundra, that was exactly what I was looking for. I'm hoping mine was from icing problems and that the sensor isn't going bad.
You're very welcome! Just one of the reasons I love this site! Good luck with it.

No repeat of this issue last night or this morning. Probably just some icing, but I'll be very alert the next few weeks. I think it heard me talking about going for an '03 and/or possibly adding a new Nissan Z to the stable and I'm being punished.
