Comanchaholic Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 Anyone ever had a problem with the pedal sticking during acceleration? I've lubed everything from the throttlebody to the pedal ansd it still sticks every now and then. All I have to do to un-stick it is to just pat the pedal with my foot and it releases. W T F ?

lostissues Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 mine is the same way, I sprayed everything that moves related to it and replaced the throttle body. I may have to go the ghetto way of putting a helper spring to bring the throttle back to idol. hopefully someone can pipe in with a more perminant solution.

Confedneck Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 get a new throttle cable, they get rusty and can bind up, its a serious safety hazard... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pathkiller Posted December 8, 2007 Share Posted December 8, 2007 get a new throttle cable, they get rusty and can bind up, its a serious safety hazard... Mine did that when the throttle cable wore out. The cable itself started wearing through the outer shroud and would stick. Very dangerous, fix it soon. It's a dealer item.

Comanchaholic Posted December 8, 2007 Author Share Posted December 8, 2007 Yea, I was thinking that it could be the throttle cable digging into the outer shroud. Any idea what the dealer rapes, errr... charges someone for the new one? My inspection is up this month so I think I'll try the ghetto spring trick for now !

carnuck Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Sometimes it can be the throttle plate coming loose or crud buildup in the bore of the throttle body. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanchaholic Posted December 12, 2007 Author Share Posted December 12, 2007 I gotta check that throttle plate and how do you clean the crud out, with some carb cleaner? :dunno: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjeff87 Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 not carb cleaner....use TB cleaner. Make sure it specifies that it won't harm O2 sensors. Jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanchaholic Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 Throttle body cleaner that won't hurt O2 sensor. Thanks ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
