Can someone give me some direction as to how to clean the throttle body?
I have a gas pedal that gets "stuck" where I have to smash down on it to get it to operate again (causing the car to shoot off like a rocket).....this usually happens at red lights but sometimes when I have been driving at one speed for awhile and go to accelerate. I have read that this is usually sign of a throttle body needing to be cleaned and I would like to do this myself. Any tips? |

if you have to mash down on the throttle, its not the IAC. try opening the throttle by hand. if it opens smoothly, then you have a bind in the cable
