I bought my 97 tacoma last year, and ever since i had it the gas pedal sticks a little bit when you first push it. has anyone else had this problem and maybe know of a way to fix it? i have tried greasing all the parts i would think would make it move easier. but it moves fine as sone as you get it past that first part of the push. :screwy:

you need to clean your throttle body out. go to autozone and get a bottle of throttle body cleaner. just take the intake off and open the throttle plate up and spray it in. make sure u have a towel so the black stuff can drip on it. get a tooth brush a scrub the inside of it until you see no more carbon inside of it. wipe it out with a towel and crank your truck up. it will sputter for a few seconds. your gas pedal should be fine then.

Well hello - I ski @ Utah Lake - it is the only lake in the area with a ski course. But then there are the yearly trips to Lake Powell!! I've got a 2001 Mastercraft Prostar 210V. Enjoy your boat - you can't go wrong with a Mastercraft.
