Sticking throttle 2001 tahoe

I have a 2001 tahoe, 5.3L

Lately when I accell from idle it is like the gas pedal is stuck, and I have to push hard to get the pedal to accell.

I have checked for binding or something wrong in the linkage or wiring and all apperas to be ok.

I am not sure of the correct terminology but when I removed the plastic cover over the intake and throttle assembly and pulled on the wires, it almost felt like a magnet was holding it down.

Has been problem been reported before?

Welcome on your first post on AF.
First thing is to get a old tooth brush and a can of carb or TBI cleaner and brush it big tooth.:grinyes: :rofl: :lol:
The butterfly in the TBI is caked up with carbon.Open it wide open and spray and brush and spray and brush again untill it is clean.
