Default Sticky gas peddle fix!

'95 SC300 The gas peddle has been sticking closed, from a stop, for the last few weeks. After searching the forum I found out that the most possible fix would be to clean the throttle body. Even though I 'm a retired Coast Guard helicopter mech I didn't really want to get THAT involved. So I decided to try just removing the air intake hose and spraying the hell out the throttle body with the car running (keep reving the engine to keep it going), but while the throttle body was still installed. Turns out it worked like a dream. OK so maybe I didn't polish the butterfly but the results are great.
Gumout and two hose clamps. It's a beautiful thing.
