Sticky gas pedal and gas...


Recommended Posts

Posted

When my '99 Silverado had this problem, the dealer told me the cause was crappy gas. I was using a brand called Casey's. He showed me how to clean the throttle, which I did...fixed the problem. I then switched to amoco and have not had the problem since (I traded that '99 for a '03).

hmmmmmm, dont see how it could be related because the throttle plate is way before the fuel injectors.

I tend to agree... funny how a service dept. will feed anyone a line of BS if they think they'll buy it...

 

Mine just started to stick after over 2 years of driving and 13K miles... also I just started to get the Cold Start Knock.

 

These problems are way too common, and I think you will either get them or you won't... :cheers:

 

Maybe the '03s are better designed throttle bodies.
