Sticky accelerator pedal on '98 Accord EX sedan
Have any of you '98-'02 Accord sedan owners experienced a sticky condition
with your accelerator pedal? This usually only occurs when the vehicle is
first driven after it has been sitting for a few hours.
I'd be curious to know if anyone has experienced this same issue, and if so,
what was the diagnosis and fix?
Thanks!
Ron

Ron,
I have a 99 Accord sedan (4 cyld) and I have never had this problem. You
may try adding a can of what I believe is called "fuel injection cleaner".

I have a 99 accord and its happened to me a number of times. 150K
miles. You need to clean the fuel throttle "bore" , the area around
the throttle body. Its a fairly common problem.

Well, I ended up taking my '98 Accord to a local Honda dealership Sat.
morning to have the throttle body cleaned. The car was running just fine
when I took it to the dealership, but that certainly wasn't the case when
the service advisor brought it around to me. It was revving up really high
and then right back down. Oscilatting idle effect.
Come to find out, the service technician screwed up my Idle Air Control
Valve during the throttle body cleaning process. Oh well. Now they're going
to replace my IACV at no cost. I believe the tech sprayed the cleaner into
the front side of the throttle body instead of the back. No big thing. Such
is life. At least they're going to rectify the situation and didn't say,
"Sorry pal. You're screwed. That'll be an additional 500 bucks." :-)
