I noticed that the throttle on my car is sticking a little. Should I be replacing the throttle cable or can I just lube something up.

When is it sticking? Is the cable binding at the firewall? Mine got held up by some carpet / insulation there. It's also possible that the cable is being obstructed by something in the engine bay... vac lines, etc.

my was sticking...that's due to mud and rust. I clean it with a brush and brake cleaner and then lub. it after.

Now i have accel. pedal vibration........ is it just me?

Anyone fix this problem???

your best bet may be a graphite lube. other lubes can attract dirt and then its just contaminated again...
