I finally found that my throttle is sticking!

I found that my throttle is sticking and was wondering if you can replace the spring with a new one because i think the old one is worn out. Can i get just the spring or no? Thanks

Just go to the junk yard, you could probalbly pick one up for a dollar. When mine broke, I didn't have time to go to the junk yard. I went to wall mart and bought one of the springs for a screen door return, cut it down and bent the ends worked fine. The only reason I switched it out was because I got one for free. The one from the spring door was very strong, great return.Good Luck Jason Fox:rockon: :rockon: :rockon:

Of course, changing the spring is about one of the easiest things. I've had experience of a faulty spring sticking, that was scary.

My caes is probably the most messed up but if that doesn't work you might want to look into this. My cruise control would activate and stick my pedal downa and wouldn't disengage it. I had to tear it out of my car....I hope this sin't it for you it is an extreme but if nothing else works try it out.
