My 88 stick shift car has a sticky throttle. There is no idle speed problem of any sort, but when pressing the throttle it does not actuate smoothly. You keep adding pressure until it comes to a point where the throttle snaps open. Since this is a stick shift car, it makes it less than fun to drive.
I replaced the throttle body recently and it corrected lots of ills. The throttle body itself seems okay. You can actuate it by hand smoothly. The cable seems to be very loose in the housing, but I suppose it could be hanging up somewhere inside.
Has anyone ever worked through such a problem?
