Throttle/Accelerator issue
Tuesday, February 23, 2010 9:37 AM
Just this morning i was driving to school and noticed that my gas pedal kind of sticks. It doesnt stick down, but up.

Very hard to explain. It has a larger than normal amount of resistance at rest (with no acceleration). Then, once i apply some more than normal pressure, the pedal kind of jumps, and then is smooth. With a 5 speed, im accidentally giving it more gas than im used to because of the skipping.

Please tell me someone understands what im trying to explain..

Could a kink form so quickly? Between the time i shut the car off and started it the next morning? Also, i forgot to add that this is only when the car is started and running. While off, the accelerator is fine.

It sounds like the throttle plate is hitting the throttle body . If this the case then you have to ajust the throttle stop a little more open to stop the throttle plate from hitting the throttle body .

You could have carbon buildup in the throttle body. check where the throttle plate is. if so, clean it out with some spray air intake cleaner.
