What kinda t/b do you have and does it get stuck when the pedal is on the floor? Be a lil more specific please.

no it got suck for a second when I was trying to push it down that's all, and it started doing that after I adjusted the screw next to where the cable connects to the throttle body... as for what kind of throttle body it is, It's just the regular stock 5.0 one I would say, sorry if not too specific..

Well I was trting to fix my Idle problem and on one of the steps it told me to use a flat-head screw driver to adjust the throttle lock Im assuming thats what its called, and the gas pedle has gotten stuck a few time when trying to push it down... but heres the link, read though it and theres a pic of the screw I was talking about, and maybe that will give you a better description of what Im talking about... hope we can figure this out.... Thanks bro. www.muscularmustangs.com/maintain.php

Ok so it stuck in the open or closed position. Were you working it by hand from under the hood or by foot from in the car?

Make sure your floor mat didn't jam it up. Could either be the cable or the t/b.

I'm going to end up checking the throttle body tomorrow and see If I can see if I can fix it somehow... I'll let you know how it turns out, maybe the cable is coming off or something.. I'll look in to it.... Thanks guy's for your help, I appreciate it alot. :-)
