Sticky accelerator

[DiaMagus]

Not all the time but most the time it seems like the throttle body is getting stuck and jumps hard when I accelerate its backed off with idle stop screw to spec.. Do you think its the actual throttle cable or the linkage on the throttle body. Thanks

Most times, is either lack of lubrication in the throttle cable, or grime in the throttle body, around the butterfly valve. Try a couple of shots of WD-40 down the throttle cable. If that solves it, use a more permanent lube. If it doesn't, time to do a throttle body cleanup.

That's what I was thinking of doing. I'll JB80 its sticky a** lol

Mine does this too and I sprayed a brake cleaner on/around the spring on the TB, this cleared it up for a few months.

Make sure the engine is off and isn't hot, just as a precaution.

It's like it only happen intermittently, Its just not sensitive and hard to launch. I Sprayed JB80 down the cable. I was thinking it might be the tension on the actual cam on the throttle body... Are your guy's throttle cams loaded with A lot of tension. Thanks.
