Gas Pedal issue

You only have to go as far as looking at the butterfly valve. You'll be able to see if it is dirty. If it is then you just get a can of throttlebody cleaner and that is when you worry about disassembling it.

for the butterfly valve do i look around the corners or just the whole inside?

Look along the edges of the plate for dark gunk and dirt.

Google "dirty throttle body" and you'll see pictures of lightly gunked to awfully gunked.

if it does end up being dirty can i use carborator cleaner?
