Throttle plate at air inlet to fuel injection system sticks each time pedal is initially pressed down from a released position, eventually releasing with sufficient applied force. This can result in a substantial jolt in acceleration from a vehicle-stopped position. Saturn service confirms that this is a relatively common problem, and is easily repaired as a maintenance procedure.
