My gas pedal is sticking help!
It's weird when the car is not running it pushes easy. When it's running I have to put a little pressure on the pedal to unstick like coming off a red light but after that it's fine. It's only when you push it after you let off it. What could this be?

I really wouldn't do that if i were you...by doing that you will increase the gap between the butterfly and the TB opening in turn alowing more air through and creating a high idle problem. try taking off the TB and adjusting the butterfly by losening the screws that hold it on. Good Luck!

i had the same problem when i Ported my tb and i also did the blade mod, where i grinded the ends to make it flow smother! if its really bad, you have to take the tb out and grind the ends all the way around the tb blade evenly! and then you have to adjust the main idle screw that is outside of the tb. if your idle is a bit high (lik 1000 rpm) then you have to keep making adjustments and if you get pretty close then thats ok, in a few days the computer will automatically adjust the iac solinoid to bring it to its normal rpm

I recommend using blue loctite on the throttle blade screws for this.
Loosen the screws to that the blade can "adjust" itself to be centered within the throttle body. Don't tighten it too much, just enough that it's set into blade, but if you push on the blade with some good pressure with your finger tip it'll move.
When I ported mine, I did the half throttle blade cut and found if I tightened it down too much, the blade would stick. The blue loctite has held for the past 2 years so I'm pretty sure it's not gonna fall out by now, but the blade is still loose enough to be shifted.
