Something binding on throttle body when pressing gas pedal
Every morning - for years - the first push of the gas pedal requires a little extra effort, as something is binding somewhere. Once "clicks" free, it's usually fine until the car sits for a few hours, then it's bound up again.
I was examining the throttle body, I believe the plastic cam thing that the cable connects to is binding on something. I would have to disassemble to get any further. I sprayed this area lightly with WD-40, and it "fixed" the problem for 2 days, and now it's back to normal.
It's a nuisance I've been putting up with for years, and finally decided I want it fixed. It's a real pain.
The coil springs on the throttle body look like they could be a real pain to reassemble. I need some advice. How would you approach this one? Anyone hear of this problem before?
Thanks.
