You can test - starting in this thread around post 17 @AssyRequired did a nice job of describing the throttle test. > [@2008 GEM troubleshooting](https://community.electricforum.com/t/2008-gem-troubleshooting/24588/16): > > While I now have a 2008 my experience is with a 2002 but I think the operation is similar even thought the mechanics of the physical throttle pedal is different.
