Is there a better way to fix this issue? I've been cleaning my BBK throttle body with throttle body cleaner then use WD-40 after...it fixes this for about 5 days before the shit is sticking again....

The car is so much more fun to drive when I can press on the accelerator and go...smoothly. When it's sticking, I give a ton of pressure and the pedal doesn't move until it breaks free and then goes like 1/2 throttle. It's a pain in the ass.

Is there a better spray lubricator than WD-40? Something that lasts longer maybe?

 

pull it out an clean it would work best

 

Yes there is better sprays then wd-40.. There is tri-flow I always like to use. It has teflon in it.

 

Thanks...I'll look for some of that.

 

I would disassemble it, and remove the blade and possibly take soe steel wool to it.

 

I had one that started sticking and found that it was worn out and the blade was moving around alot causing it to bind up. But thankfully Raymond (riverviewnative) hooked me up with one, give him a shout if you can't get it fixed. There was no helping mine.

 

It's weird, after I clean it, it works fine. But after a week of driving, there is alot of carbon buildup on it. The car runs rich for the spray and since I don't spray everytime I drive it it's possibly just getting overloaded.

Somebody else told me that BBK's need to be cleaned often but once a week is ridiculous.

 

turn the idle screw a little, it gets passed the stuck spot, chances are its worn a little on the shaft

 

Mars, do you encounter this issue alot on GM cars by any chance? The TB on my S10 sticks pretty bad at times, and another guy I know with a Tahoe has the same issue.

 

Its been done a few cars at the shop, usually do this after giving is a very thorough cleaning with some carb clean, a brush and a rag
