hi there, sometimes when i push the gas pedal it sticks, i have to put force to get it to move… i took off my CAI and checked the throttle flap, it appears to be binding on the bottom edge… can anyone tell me why and what to do? thanks!! Cheers ---

That info wouldnt actually matter… Just take some carb cleaner and clean out your throttle body. Scrape off any sort of gunk build up. Make sure not to let it fall into your throttle body, stuff a cloth past the gunk and clean away. ---

Yeah, just a tooth brush and throttle body cleaner will do it. ---
