Any tricks to lubricating the accelerator pedal cable? My pedal seems to stick at the top of the push down. Hopefully someone has experienced this phenom on this forum.

Is there carbon built up in your TB?

Racesmith

I guess that is a possibility. Where would I check for the build up on the throttle body?

try taking the cable off of the TB and and then open her up and see if it sticks.

^^^^Yah take off ur air intake when take the cable off and look inside right where the throttle blade rests at "idle position" there is probably a ridge of carbon built up there

Sounds like a plan. Thanks Laser and Zook for the info.

Its one of two things the throttle body is gummed up or your throttle cable is shot. I just replaced my throttle a week ago and it made a world of a difference. Mine was messed up real bad. I know it wasnt my tb bc I cleaned and polished my edelbrock 70mm and its as smooth as silk.

Cable is fine. Opened TB and low and behold a carbon ring around where the butterfly swings. A little carb and choke cleaner removed it effortlessly. Accelerator back to normal. Thanks everyone for you contribs. [sm=bounceybounce.gif]
