Hi guys,

After a hard run at WOT, and sometimes less, my throttle becomes sticky at idle. It's pretty annoying, cuz today i ended up stuck in some traffic, and my accelerator pedal was sticky. any suggestions?

Either the butterly is sticking or the throttle cable is hanging up somewhere. Have someone press the gas pedal to the floor while your look for the above symptoms.

That is how I would do it too. On some TB's one can adjust the butterfly plate a little too.

Good luck.
