Sticky Accelerator Pedal

[CMF_CUEVO]

Hoping someone can help with this.
My K11 has a "sticky" accelerator pedal where
I need to really push hard on it for it to dislodge. It doesn't happen every time, but often enough that it has become annoying and potentially dangerous.
Basically I need to give the pedal some force to "free" it.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

sticky or dirty throttle valve..you can clean it with some throttle body cleaner and may need to adjust the cable.

I have the same problem... push push push nothing.. then bang open throttle. Feels like there's a vacuum in the tb or something and the seal needs to be broken before the throttle will open normally.
Its funny though because I cleaned the **** out of the TB before i put it on not long ago, might use some silicon spray or something to free up the butterflys a bit and let you know how it goes.

i had the same once when my butterfly was set so that it closed fully shut (and the airbleed/tickover screw was quite far open)
it cured it when i adjusted the butterfly open a tad then reset the idle screw to drop the idle back down

ahhh... that would be why it engine-brakes like a diesel on closed throttle.. lol
Cheers frank, i'll do the same.
