Gas pedal Stuck !!
started the camaro yesterday and thought of taking around my sub division.
turned a corner and whacked it, and as i left off the gas the pedal did not come back up with my foot,
threw it in neutral / shut her down / scared the crap out of me
so, i removed the aftermarket pedal overlays i had, and threw them out checked the cables and they looked ok.
one time freak thing ?? i thought the gas pedal and "rod" that goes to the firewall seemed kind of loose, i know most are, but seemed alittle more than normal, maybe i was just looking for something to be wrong,
anyone have this problem happen before ??

check your throttle body, it might be gummed up. in my silverado the gas pedal would stick. just go get you a can of throttle body cleaner and a tooth brush and clean it really well. i did that and never had a problem! also while you're at it, get some lithium grease and grease the throttle spring!
