I am having a gas pedal issue with the CSP's. Basically when I have my foot down on the gas pedal and throttle is full, sometimes it would fall off to say 75%. When it does, I need to let go of the gas pedal and put my foot on it again to get it back up to 100%. Anyone know how to fix this? theres no load cell on the gas pedal so surely it cant be it...I've also checked the power board and all the wires are fine.
 
How old are your pedals mate.

I've had this issue twice now. Seems to be a solder issue where the sensor attached to the cable. This is a moving part after all.

your problem is that the setscrews have come loose and the pivot pin is slightly turning in it`s axis.
the only way to fix this is to remove the screw completely from the effected pedal - look down the threaded hole - look for the drill mark on the pin - turn the pin untill the drill mark alignes with the center of the hole - only then can you insert the screw and lock it up.

NOTE - there is no magnet to be tightened - the sensor magnet is permantely installed at one end of the pivot pin - facing the sensor - this is why the pin has to be installed in it`s proper position - so that the magnet is at the proper angle in front of the sensor
 
If the set screw were loose, letting off the gas pedal and back down would do nothing to correct the problem and if it were loose it would get progressively worse over time. It would never correct itself. You need to hook it up to a PC and check it out. Put the wheel in PC mode (hold back button for a few seconds)

You need to install the Fanatec drivers to your PC then attach the pedals either directly via a USB cable or plug them into the wheel, with the PS/2 cable, and attach it to the PC via the USB cable. Then click the Fanatec Wheel Property Page icon on your desktop and you can test the wheel and/or pedals.

I was getting something similar, except it would happen only on GT5. Every other game is perfectly fine! Weird huh? Maybe PD doesn't love us anymore! :lol:
