Sticking Gas Pedal

[jayderwin1]

I bought my 97 tacoma last year, and ever since i had it the gas pedal sticks a little bit when you first push it. has anyone else had this problem and maybe know of a way to fix it? i have tried greasing all the parts i would think would make it move easier. but it moves fine as sone as you get it past that first part of the push.

you need to clean your throttle body out. go to autozone and get a bottle of throttle body cleaner. just take the intake off and open the throttle plate up and spray it in. make sure u have a towel so the black stuff can drip on it. get a tooth brush a scrub the inside of it until you see no more carbon inside of it. wipe it out with a towel and crank your truck up. it will sputter for a few seconds. your gas pedal should be fine then.

Thanks Sportsman for the info i will try that this weekend. is that throttle body cleaner expensive?

It's about 3 or 4 clams!

I did what you said about the intake manifold and it worked like a charm thanks for the info. Corbinwaterski where do you ski at? i am also a water skier i just bought a 86 Mastercraft and i ski at Percy Preist Lake in Nashville, TN.

Well hello - I ski @ Utah Lake - it is the only lake in the area with a ski course. But then there are the yearly trips to Lake Powell!! I've got a 2001 Mastercraft Prostar 210V. Enjoy your boat - you can't go wrong with a Mastercraft.
