Any ideas? Do you guys think it might be that return spring if its broken?

 

if the throttle spring seems broken maybe you can swap the cable locations and see if the helps(throttle cable onto the cruise side and vise versa). also, you can try disconnecting the cable at the pedal and move the pedal around to see if you feel any sticking.

 

How do I disconnect the cable from the pedal??

 

Will try the throttle to cruise control asap, as for the pedal it never has gotten stuck or felt sticky. It seems its something right after the pedal to the throttle body...will update thanks

 

Couldn't swap the cables the mounting is different. Can anyone post a video of the throttle body cables sprnigs moving? Please

bump , maybe a warped throttle plate or loose bolt for the plate?

 

Or gunked up throttle bore.

Your probably better off replacing the throttle body. Replace it and start fresh.

 

Yewh I think that might be the solution, Haha, I'm tryn to get the dealership to replace it but its hard to prove the problem and its dangerous to prove to them and the mechanic

 

Well I work for the dealer as well. I'm a tech. Just tell them ur symptoms and tell them that's ur NOT ABUSING or RACING ur car. Ull be fine. Just say for instance getting onto the freeway. we had a 99 teg come in a long time ago and it had a short RAM air intake and wheel driving the throttle became stuck wide open. Unwashed ablebto duplicate it and it was scarry lol i popped off the intake and a weird piece of fome was jammed into the throttle body.

 

do you have an aftermarket intake?

 

oh wow yes i have a aem sri, but i barely bought this car and it came like that

 

Check the intake where it slides into the coupler on the throttle body if the intake is pushed in too far it will catch the butterfly maybe take your intake off and space it out a little or take the intake off and coupler off for a couple mins drive up and down the street and see if it still does it don't drive too much without ur filter on

 

will do , if not the dealer should replace the throttle body or what not

 

well i took it off a checked and everything looked fine , exept the throttle plate kinda barely squeels wen pussed slightly like a vacuum sound when the intake tube was off but i think the sound is normal .

Internet magic isn't going to fix this for you from afar. If you can't figure it from the suggestions here and playing around with it, then pay someone with experience to play around with it in person. At least they will actually be able to see and hear what it is doing first hand. You mentioned the dealer already; they should know what they are doing and should be able to see if something is out of place, broken, etc.

Seriously, we are just taking shots in the dark here. If you found something obvious enough that we would figure it out from you telling us about it, you probably wouldn't need us to point out that was the problem

 

i replaced my tb with a used one , and it still gets stuck on the freeway. Im pretty sure its not the cable cuz i checked it when it was stuck and it was loose. im lost now...

 

maybe intake manifold or bad tb gasket, or can electronics be malfunctioning at high speeds?

 

I'd just replace the cable, it could be binding somewhere

 

will do

 

replaced cable and stilllll sticks, but unsticks kinda easier since throttle cable is way better. What should i change or check next? ? im not under dealer warranty anymore and problem has been there since the first day i leased it....

 

maybe something coming from thc vc breather tube making the throttle plate sticky under heavy load? i need some sort of idea l

 

well i thank you guys for all your help. I found that my old aem intake filter was the problem,,,sounds like cracked pieces of rubber got the throttle stuck. I dont think that was good for the engine at all, but no noticeable problems on the engine. one crazy ,,but simple solution
