Throttle body sticks sometimes Hey guys my throttle body I's sticking a little when I punch it. If I roll into the throttle it doesnt not stick. It only sticks about 1/8 of an inch off the tab it sits on when It cOmes back down. Can I adjust the throttle cable would this fix it?

No there is no adjusting for your cable, Is is sticking from an idle as you push on the pedal? What you can do is look at the throttle body and you will see a screw with a spring in it, this screw will allow more air in, increasing your Idle, You can screw that in if your idle goes up, then stop and go back a lil, what may be happening is if that screw is out too far, then when you let off the gas real quick, the blade can snap shut and possibly bind in the body. Something else you can do is spray some WD40 on the blade shaft ends.

Sorry for that crappy explanation I was about to be finished with my break at work so had to rush it.
It does not stick when pushing the pedal, only time it sticks is when it snaps shut. SO when I immediately punch it.
