I own a 2009 4/4 Sport with a Ford Sigma engine. Everything is fine except for one minor thing:
When driving slow on bumpy roads or with potholes I get a very uncomfortable ride (no, not because of the suspension :-) ).
A minimal movement of the right foot results in harsh acceleleration/retardation, the throttle pedal reacts extremly sensitive.
On a bumpy road it is almost impossible to have a steady throttle pedal position resulting in a ruggedly ride.
The only way to avoid this is to release the accelerator completly for a few seconds when crossing a pothole.
Is there a way to 'dampen' the throttle pedal inputs? Or can the mechanics of the pedal be modified to make it less sensitive to minimal movements?
I know it sounds strange that somebody wants to modify a 'lively' engine, but this behaviour is annoying.
