Sticky Gas Pedal On Wife's TL-S

I guess I have to bring in my wife's TL-S for throttle body cleaning or whatever the hell they call it. Every time she's stopped at a light, then hits the gas to go, she jack rabbits the car. All the drag nuts think she wants to race. I'd better bring it in to Acura before she demands to use my S2000.

Just had this same problem with my 2001 CL-S. Dealer told me it was build up in the throttle body, causing the assembly to stick at times. Charged me $60 to fix it. You might want to try and get a look at it yourself, maybe you can clean it for under $60.

Had the same problem on my old '01 CL-S and now on my '03 6sp. Just remove the air cleaner assembly and clean up the sides of the throttle body with some WD40. Save yourself the $$$.

Was fixed under warranty on my 2001.
