my gas pedal seems to stick, and takes a little more force to push it down initially. i thought it might be the spring on the throttle body that was sticking, but i oiled that with some WD40, and it didn't work. i don't think it is the throttle cable itself because this doesn't happen when the car is off, only when it is running.
does anybody have any idea why this is happening? |

Mine did that but it mostly stuck after I was sitting at a light for a few minutes. It RARELY stuck while I was cruising and then tried to accelerate a little more. It felt like there was a brick or something under the gas pedal and then you push harder and VROOM, you take off. I'm not sure the cause but I took it to the Toyota dealer and they fixed it for like 80 bucks. |
