ive noticed that sometimes my gas pedal gets hard to push....like its stuck out, but once i break the "seal" if you will, it goes in no problem......its only sticky when its all the way out (foot off the gas, then trying to get back into it) anyone know what it is and how to fix it?

yes i just fixed the exact same problem. the throttle blade is getting a little stuck in the closed position. What u need to do is thoroughly clean the throttle blade and the areas around it and make sure it is functioning easily. Then go back in with a new rag with only water on it and try to get as much of the cleaning solvent off of the TB. u cant have anything in the TB or your problem will continue. then make sure that the throttle cable and spring are functioning properly. check all of this with the air inlet tube off so u can see what is going on. it may take a few cleanings over a couple days to get it all cleaned out of there so it operates smoothly. good luck man

Apply some grease to the spring on the throttle cable under the throttle body.
