Lightbulb Gas pedal pulsation

I get an odd pulsating feeling from my gas pedal, and it occasionaly goes all the way to the center console. It will pulsate even on smooth pavement and is most noticeable while keeping a steady speed, esp. if you stay at 40MPH-50MPH range. I swapped on new tires, but still feel it. Any ideas??

Get your axles looked at, check your alignment, check your tierods. I had to swap out all of those things before mine quit.

Yes, only the gas pedal. Oddly, only during a constant speed, not during acceleration.

I would say rebalance your tires but that is generally felt in the steering wheel. not sure about just the pedal pulsing.

Would a pedal pulsate for clogged injectors??
