Sticky throttle from take off.

[Pierced]

Alright I have had a pretty annoying issue with my truck since I got it with the throttle I have learned to deal with it but I would like to fix it. When stopped and you go to take off you have to kinda tap the pedal with your foot and really ease into it or it just jumps and takes off like your rawhiding on it. Now heres where it gets weird, it doesn't do it in park, during mid throttle, or even at just the throttle body. The cable is new and I have had 2 different throttle bodies on it and even had the pedal assembly apart and greased it real good.

I have heard of other guys with TBI trucks that had this problem and just dealt with it and heard of some that didnt do this at all. I know there has to be a fix to this. Anyone have any ideas?

So the accelerator pedal itself is hard to move, so that you can't gently ease into the throttle?

Right, its only at the pedal that it acts like that if you move the throttle by hand at the throttle body it moves fine.

DO you have TB spacer on?

Sounds like you may have something binding on the pedal then. Have you tried a different pedal assembly? May be worth a shot.

Yea, sounds like a pedal issue.

That's my next step. I might just order a new one and hope that fixes it because thats about the only thing it could be I think.

Man its just all that power of the tbi 350!

I know you said that you have tried different cables but if your throttle cable bracket were tweaked a bit then the plastic cover on the cable could be getting in a bind, a lot of people have had to cut that cover off.

I had the same problem with my truck when I first bought it I changed the cable and took care of all that.
