MattFransonPA Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Sometimes the accelerator pedal sticks and I have to really push hard [or tap it hard knowing it will jerk forward] and then the engine revs and the pathy jerks forward and it is ok after that. Anyone know if some PB blaster will solve this or is it something worse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 It's probably not the pedal. It's more than likely the butterfly on the throttle body, or the spring on the throttle body where the throttle cable attaches that's sticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02silverpathy Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 "ditto" pull off the intake rubber and use throttle body cleaner to clean out the butterfly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Just don't hose a whole can through the intake and then try to start it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kmgar99 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 (edited) Just don't hose a whole can through the intake and then try to start it. AMEN I did it once....killed the battery twice before it finally started. start vehicle, Killed battery, remove from vehicle and charge for 5 hours, re-install battery, attempt to start vehicle again.....Now repeat Edited June 14, 2008 by kmgar99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if some PB blaster will solve this or is it something worse? Mine does the same thing sometimes. I haven't done anything about it yet. Haven't even looked to see if it might be the pivot at the pedal. It probably is sticking at the throttle body as others mentioned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zonianbrat Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 I had this problem and did what was mentioned above about taking off the rubber hose from the air filter and spraying down the butterfly adn working it a bit. Dont use even half the can!! Just to be safe I sprayed it worked it and sprayed it again, then I drove it for a day and repeated the same procedure the next day. I never had the problem after that.
