Just got my new car

Well, it's new to me anyway =)

It's a used 96' Toyota RAV4 with about 75k on it. It's pretty fast, but probably not near as fast as it could be. Anyway, here are some pics of it if you are interested.

I'm posting because I'm asking what you guys think I should do to it. I am a car newbie, but I want to learn things right (rather than watch F&F til I memorize it)

So, if you guys got any advice, or want to comment on my car. Feel Free. Also, I'm new to the forum, so wassup?

oh yeah, I'm having a small problem with my car. It is getting worse though, so I am gonna take it to the shop tommorrow, but maybe you guys could tell me what I could be dealing with.
The problem is a gas pedal that wont go down when I first start moving. This could be at a red light, or a stop sign or whatever. The gas refuses to go down, so I literally have so slam on the gas which results in the car flying off the stop sign or red light. In rainy conditions, it is causing my tires to spin out therefore becoming dangerous. This seems to only happen in first gear though, once im out of there, the gas is as smooth as can be. I got this car for my birthday two days ago and it's already givin me some problems, so hopefully you guys can help me out. Thanx in advance!

Maybe a sticking throttle. Maybe the throttle position sensor is taost, it could be quite a few things.

BTW: Congrats on your new car. It is always nice to have a new car to drive around in.

Well, very good choice for a little SUV, that is also my g/f car... by the way, what in hell where you meaning when you said :

"It's pretty fast, but probably not near as fast as it could be."

You might want to remember that you have 120 HP in there....

PONTiAC GTX :flash:

where in texas do you live?:confused: :eek: :bloated: :alien:

congrats on the new car. I'm trying to hook myself up in a while with a mr2 turbo

if you do anything to an suv, lift it and put bigger tires. please don't turn it into a rice rocket. we toyota off roaders need to represent.

thanx guys...

can anyone help me with the sticking throttle?

this is what ive tried :

new gas filter
fuel injection cleaners
new spark plugs
new spark plus wires
lubricants for throttle

nothing is working...not even the dealership i got it from is able to fix it, but if anyone can help me, you guys can =)
thanx in advance

p.s. lift kit and tires are my christmas present next year :)
