When I go to start my car after a while of not driving it (a few hours or overnight for example), the gas pedal has to be forcefully pushed down to get it to unstick, and then its fine. This only happens when the car hasn't been driven for a while..doesn't happen when I am driving or stopped or whatnot. Any ideas whats going on?

 

clean the throttle body its sticking.

 

yup clean the tb my friends car was just like that he cleaned his tb with carb cleaner problem went away

 

I just had this problem the other day...when leaving work, the throttle stuck and peddle had no play and went to the floor...

I thought the clutch dropped, but I was wrong...all it was, the throttle sticking...

I noticed that where the throttle plate hinge is, there is some buildup there...so cleaning should do the trick...

 

thanks a lot guys

 

yea def the tb, get in there with some tb cleaner u can get at any auto store, and use some q-tips get that gunk out.. might as well change ur filter while ur at it
