Re: 1995 4.3 TBI Throttle sticking

Hi, check the throttle body bore for carbon build-up; on my 97 the gas pedal felt sticky off idle; you push a little and would not move, push harder and the throttle finally moved but vehicle lunges a bit. When looking at the throttle plate / throttle body you could see a slight ridge of carbon residue which bound up the throttle plate until the edge of it went past the ridge. A little carb cleaner on a rag took care of it. While you are there you can check the return spring, cable connector, etc and lightly oil too. Good luck
