    Gas Pedal Sticking

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    Yesterday I get into my car and I try to give it some gas and i felt more resistance than usual. I had to press down quasi-hard and it free'ed up, but I have to do that most of the time I give it any gas. Should I just shoot some wd40 up there? Has anyone else had this issue?

    yeah, lube it up. also make sure that the floor mat isn't in the way or hitting it at all. If that doesn't help you might be looking at a bound cable (assuming we use a cable, thats what my saab used).

    do it before u drive and while the engine is off pump the gas after lubing it to insure it doesn't stick and that the lube sinks in. Do it before it gets stuck at WOT.

    wd40 will work for awhile but it's not a lube it's a solvent.
