throttle sticking
Someone asked to listen to my exhaust today, so I was revving up the truck sitting still in neutral. It seemed like the throttle was sticking when I let off the pedal. It pauses for a second before the motor starts slowing back down. When it comes back to idle it seems like it misses a little. I have not noticed any driveability problems at all. The truck has plenty of power and gets 20mpg. Does the drive by wire system cause this pause, do all of these trucks do this?
