Repairing my 2005 Chevy Silverado's Sticky Accelerator Pedal. Throttle Body Carbon Cleaning.


My 2005 Cheverolet Silverado's gas pedal felt like it was sticky. I had to press the pedal a little harder to get it to accelerate from a stop. I did some online research and discovered that it was actually not the pedal but the throttle body. The throttle body develops a buildup of carbon around the outside and sort of seals itself closed.
It is less than a twenty minute project to get to the throttle body and clean it with the throttle cleaner. Quick & Easy (& cheap). I bought the cleaning spray at Autozone for under $3.
