Re: Sticky Gas Pedal

I had a very similar issue on a previous '98 Taurus SHO. I'm embarassed to say that enough carbon had formed on the back side of the throttle plate and inside the throttle body that when the throttle plate would close, the plate would wedge into the softer carbon and require a bit too much force to open the throttle. That made it very difficult to accelerate slowly from a stop, especially in the snow.
