My gas pedal started sticking again as I first take off. Dealer recommended cleaning fuel system (throttle body ? ) an $80 job. I had this done a couple years ago , but wondering if I can do this myself - I am pretty mechanical. They say it builds up carbon & gunk on the baffles & you need to clean them. Is this fairly simple to do ?

check your cable for kinks, or cord comming apart. also you can get some carb cleaner and spay the inside of throtttle body, and pay attention to the springs on the throttle shaft.
