have to kick the gas pedal to break the throttle lose and make it stop.. anyone have any suggestions or solutions to this?

take it to a dealer, check the throttle cable, not necessarily in that order.

i heard something like from from some nissan spec V owner/driver and they said the pedal got stucked in the carpet ...

so check your carpet?

second time it happend.. i felt for the pedal before i kicked it.. and it was up.. so wasn't the carpet.

is there anything i could spray on the throttle body to loosen it up incase thats whats getting stuck :

its most likely the throttle cable.

disconnect the cable from the throttle body and check it. should move ultra smooth back and forth. then try to make the throttle body itself stick open.

I had the opposite problem on a previous Honda. If the car sat over night, the butterfly would stick shut, and I would have to push pretty hard on the pedal to break it loose. I don't really see how the butterfly could be sticking open, so I agree with the others about the cable.

personally, I would not even fool with it.

Stuck throttle = safety issue. maybe not for you, but for some other poor soul or even a pedestrian

If dealer does not do the right thing, either in or out of warranty, notify NHSTA. I probably would ntfy. the feds anyway.

Yea, this is something you would want fixed. Don't want it to stick and not come up.

mine did the very same thing this weekend.

The car hasn't been on the road for two weeks (i hate snow) and the second i tried to hit Vtec she got stuck (scary) and bounced of the rev lim (9k) three times. I wondered if it was because she was really cold. hasn't done it sence
