sticking gas pedal on 95 Aurora?

[unioncreek]

I have a 95 Aurora with just over 100k miles on it. My wife came home and said the gas pedal was sticking and making funny noises. I went out and checked it and it worked fine, but when I opened the hood and moved the cable to increase rpm's and let go it would make a clicking sound. Has anyone run into this problems and if you have how did you fix it.

Thanks,
Bob

Sounds like the idle speed control motor is acting up. It should be mounted to the side of the Throttle body.. you'll see the accelorator cable nearby and a little motor with a plunger that presses the thottle blades open. Try cleaning and lubing that. Most likely will have to replace that if it is the problem. Around $120.

Another problem that can happen is a build up of carbon on the throttle body and blade. Use a tooth brush and throtle body/carb cleaner to clean it. I do it every time I clean my air filter just to avoid the problem.

Hello:

Yes,I had this happen.After you stopped the car and turned it ff you heard a clicking.

This is the speed control motor. It runs about $ 100 to $ 120 at the dealership. I recomend have a good mechanic put it in. The flar rate labor should not be more than I hour.

Good luck.
