throttle sticking shut!
Like the title says. It's always sticks a little, which is annoying, but recently it's been sticking soo hard that it won't open when I step on the gas pedal (I bent the pedal to the floor 
) I had to open it with a screwdriver. Tried cleaning out the throttle body w/spray stuff, lubed up all external parts, cable moves fine. What could this be?? Anyone else had this sort of problem.....

Adjust your throttle stop screw on the throttle body to hold the throttle open just slightly. Don't go nuts with this adjustment or you will have serious idle problems.
