Note that you may not need to unplug the wire leading to the switch ... but unplugging it and moving it aside may give you more room to fiddle with the two nuts holding the switch in place. You will want to adjust the switch such that when the pedal is depressed, the spring-loaded pin on the switch is fully depressed against the rubber bumper pad. You can check this while you're in the footwell by grabbing the pedal and pulling it downward and making sure that the pin fully retracts into the body of the switch. In fact, this should probably be your first step. Get into the footwell and depress the pedal and determine if the pin fully retracts. If not, then proceed to adjust the position of the switch as described above.
Again, sorry for any confusion. Things should be obvious to you once you start examining the pedal once you're in the footwell.
You are the real McCoy, got under the foot-well unplugged and unscrewed the old switch, installed the new one and no issues at all. Started up 5 out of 5 times like normal and it was only a 5 minute operation. This tiny issue should definitely be up there with the CSC, limp mode and fuel starvation failures.

I just adjusted the switch exactly in the position how I saw the original before I started unscrewing it and no issues at all. Thank you so much for your help!
