Hello Everyone,

I am a new member. I have a weird issue I need help with!

When my 2000 civic se is really warm, it seems like the gas pedal is sticking. It revs really high and I need to pull the gas pedal out by my foot. I greased all the cables and pedals and it still happens. It only happens with the car is running for a long time. You think my throtle body is sticking?

Thanks in advance!

I think your throttle body is sticking.

Lubricate the rotor and clean the gunk out where the plate touches the throat.

Any special cleaner or lube should be used in there?

I would use brake cleaner to clean the rotor and then lube it with WD40.

Use carb cleaner to clean the plate and throat. Note that there is a stripe of sealer that's on the wall of the throat where the plate touches. It's there by design so don't scrub it off. Just clean it so it doesn't stick.
