Default Throttle Pedal Sticking

I am having issues with the throttle pedal wanting to stick after letting off it totally. Is this the problem some trucks have had w/ Throttle Bodies sticking, and if so, whats the fix for it?

Thanks,
-Bo-

What he said will help, one other thing you could do that i do to everyone that i get that is sticking is clean it and adjust the throttle blade screw, but it is best to be watching a scan tool while doing it. You dont have to adjust much and you also dont want it to go past 0% throttle angle.

Clean it, and adjust the idle set screw about half a turn. They often stick at full closed for some reason.
