A dirty butterfly valve will made the pedal get sticky

One of the main reasons a gas pedal might get sticky is because of carbon buildup messing with the proper functioning of the butterfly valve in the throttle body. What is the throttle body and what is the butterfly valve?

The throttle body is a component attached to an engine’s intake manifold. It houses the butterfly valve.
This nifty valve regulates how much air goes into an engine to help power it.
Depending on how much a driver depresses the gas pedal, the valve will open or flutter proportionately, responding to the intensity of the gas pedal’s command.
If there is too much carbon buildup in this valve, something that can happen over time, it may get stuck or have trouble moving, which can lead to a sticky gas pedal.

So how can you fix a sticky gas pedal?
A removal of the throttle body and a proper cleaning of it as well as around the valve should do the trick.
When you get at the butterfly valve, you will probably see a lot of gunk, which could be the culprit behind the sticky gas pedal.

To remove the muck, spray some throttle body cleaner on and around the butterfly valve and use a cloth or soft-bristled brush to rub it away.
