1999 Chevrolet Silverado Owner Comments

Fuel throttle linkage sticks when pressing down on accelerator pedal causing the truck to lunge forward when gas pedal releases. Must press hard on gas pedal to get it truck to go forward. This happens most of all of the times I start the truck and quite often as I am driving and let up on the gas to slow down. Most often it sticks when I acelerate again even when driving.
