Toyota Repair: sticky accelerator pedal, air intake hose, 4wd auto


Question
2000 Tacoma 4cylinder, 4WD, auto tranny - Acc pedal is sticky from rest or idle position, seems to be worse when warmed up, any thoughts ?

Answer
The throttle plate is sticking in the throttle body bore, you can remedy this by removing the air intake hose from the throttle body an using a throttle body cleaner and a brush to clean out the carbon buildup in the throttle body, open the throttle plate all the way and scrub the inside of the throttle body until all the deposits are removed.
