Celica Forums General Discussion General throttle is sticking

hey, lately my accelerator has been sticking when im in full throttle, any one know of a quick fix or shuld i get this checked out? thanx

What do you mean it sticks? The throttle won't spring back to it's normal position after you release it?

I would say clean your throttle body??

Black Jujubes on the floor perhaps?? (thought that only happened in theaters!)

yeah wat do you mean it sticks? we need more info to help

check the floor mat maybe...mine will creep up sometimes and when I floor it the pedal gets stuck underneath the mat and doesn't spring back the way it should...

well, its not the floor mat. its kinda hard to explain but ill do my best. so when my car is at full throttle i than release to begin to decelerate. usually the pedal will spring back but now it kinda sticks like its being grabbed or restricted. when shifting after being at full acceleration my rpms still jump up a bit after my foot has been fully removed from the pedal.

same her

Maybe the cable is too tight


I helped

Definitely clean the throttle body. Just sounds like there's a lot of gunk built up around the throttle plate that's holding it open.

ok, how wuld i clean it? i think i need to disconnect my CAI to get to the throttle body right?

yup! disconnect Intake and spray some carb+choke cleaner down that bitch! and wipe it off too with a shop towel or a towel??

Mine to theres a piece that used to hold it in place but it broke off
