Gas pedal Vibration??? on 2002
I just bught my car a week ago and she has about 750 miles on it now and I've noticed from day one that after the car is sitting all day or if I go and park the car in a spot and then back up and pull out, I feel a vibration on the gas pedal for a sec it really wierd. Is this normal?

I had/still have the same symptom and was too wondering what it was. It's perfectly normal. It's just the ABS initializing. The reason you feel it through the accelerator pedal is because under the hood, right behind the firewall the gas pedal cable is mounted on a grommet that is on the ABS unit. The easy way to test this is to pop the hood, have someone move the car slowly while someone else holds their hand on the unit. You'll notice that each of you feel the vibration at the same time. I did this to test this explanation the dealership gave me and it ended up being right.
