freedom and i have had problems with our throttle sticking closed. ive found that chevy has a technical service bullitin for this and recommends cleaning the throttle body butterfly with throttle body cleaner and opening the wot switchy. im going to clean it later today and see if it works.

definitely let me know , mine did this earlier around 36 k miles, funny they fixed it for free. well it lasted another 40k and is doing it again. it is a royal pain in the butt. i simply dont have time to sit at a dealership for 8 hours to get it fixed .

all done, worked great. the inside of the throttle body was caked black and you could batenly see were it was sticking. i just sprayed in some carb choke cleaner, which i would like to mention is better than mace or pepper spray when fighting with a 400lb biker guy , opened the throttle and scrubed with a toothbrush and sprayed a little more. worked like a charm. no sticky anymore. but now my teeth are all black from that dirty toothbrush ;D
