97 speeds up, slows down

cameraman1

Have a 1997 EZ-GO, was working good until yesterday, when it started to slow down, then all of a sudden will speed up, also some times will not go at all, when that happens you can hear motor hum, what could my problem be?

Thanks

BGW

Can you verify the year and tell us which one of the three drive systems you have?

The last 2 numbers of the manufactures code is the year, located inside the passenger side glove box, the 2004 and newer ezgos dont have a serial number plate in the box, they have a serial number sticker under the rear access panel behind the seat, and then on the driverside frame rail below the floor board.

DCS will have a F&R lever behind the driver's knee and a run/tow switch on the enviromental cover on the controller. The backside of the f&R looks round like a hockey puck.

PDS carts will have a Tow/Run switch with toggle switch for F&R on the dash

SERIES carts will have a shift lever like the dcs cart down by your legs, but it will NOT have a tow/run switch. Also the actual F&R switch is in the corner by the controller and there is linkage from it to the lever in the center.....

Just wondering if my problem could be the Inductive throttle sensor? Any ideas,

Thanks
