During the first acceleration of the day, my throttle always ends up sticking (at about 3000+ rpm)

up until now I've just shut it off...popped the hood, and pulled the throttle cable back into place, but what can be done to prevent this? I don't want to go spraying WD40 everywhere and messing something up [8D]

 

Does it only stick the first time you put the pedal to the floor?

You can disconnect the throttle cable at the throttle body and turn the throttle by hand, if it has a lot of resistance to it you should lube it then spray the throttle cable with either Lithium grease or silicone lube, not wd40 (it won't stay lubricated long with wd40)

 

I did notice some stickiness this morning...after I first turned it by hand

luckily I have some white lithium grease around here somewhere...although I am missing the little tube that comes with the can [&:]

thanks for the advice!
