sticky accelerator pedal in honda 97 civic
 

hello all,

i have a 97 civic with only 41,000 miles on it, and i have a problem
with the accelerator pedal, it's sticks a little when i first start to
depress it. when it finally releases it makes for some herky jerky
acceleratriosn in 1st. i had this problem a few years ago, the dealer
said i needed a major replacement of something , i forget what. i
took it ti a garage and they did something that "unstuck it" by
cleaning it out . . . said it was a common problem. so, what to do?
pay the dealer? take it to a garage? or is this something i can clean
out myself without too much major surgery? thanks for help - fj
