Couple of days ago my throttle started sticking when I went past 50% throttle or so. I immediately pulled over and looked around the engine bay. Didn't see anything obvious so I just limped back home in stop and go, keeping a light foot. Checked the next morning and it didn't seem to be sticking any more. On my way home from work, same story. Tonight I pulled my throttle body hoses off and disconnected my throttle cable to make sure it wasn't something in the pedal. Everything was smooth, but now I could feel the slight bind in the throttle linkage, turns out one of my PCV vent's had backed out of the valve cover, thankfully the OEM throttle spring cover kept it from holding the spring full open. Must have missed this 3 times looking the bay over. Just thought I'd post up an FYI in case anyone else starts getting a sticky throttle and does a search.
