Sticky gas pedal?!?!

I have an 01 CL-s and for soe reason my pedal gets stuck when i go to excel from a stop. Its not that it gets stuck when im moving but it mkes me have to press it kinda hard and i spin the tires. Now i took it to the dealer and they said its air comin through the something in the pedal and theres nothing we can do. So basically i hate my car and ill sell it for 22,000 White with part. interior only 22,500 miles.. Live in Florida Palm Beach County. But does anyone else have this problem???????

Build up in your throttle body, have them clean it.

Oil up the throttle cable, check if it's bent. Clean your tb or it may be damaged. I had my tb changed twice already b/c it was damaged.

I have had the same problem since the day I bought my car. Now, at each oil change (at the dealer) I have them spray cleaner in the throttle body. Fixes the problem for about 3,000 miles or so. It's a pain but it's really the only problem with the car (other than losing a tranny at 48,000 miles).

Yup, buildup at the throttle plate inside the throttle body. At 22.5K, I'd go back to the dealer and demand that they clean/fix the problem. Otherwise, it's easy as a small dissasemble of the folter box from the throttle body, and a quick spray and wipe of some WD40.
