This is not for a chevelle, this is for a 1995 Mitsubishi Mirage!

Whenever I step on the gas, the pedal feels like its stuck in the UP position. I have to push down on it pretty hard to get it to move, then when it does move, the whole car lurches forward. I checked the throttle linkage in the engine and shot it pretty good with penetrating oil, but the trbl still perists.


Can anyone here offer some good advice?

throttle blade/blades carboned up, clean, service throttle body.

I'll assume that it's cable operated and the cable is bound up or bad.

I put some axle grease on the throttle and the sticking is not as bad now, but it still sticks a little.

Clean inside the throttle body, the blade gets gunk on it and a good cleaning will take care of it. Take the intake tube off, hold the throttle open and clean it all.

I give it a try..Thanks!
