My wife has a 2005 Pacifica that has problems with the accelerator pedal sticking. It really has a hard spot to get through while pressing down. I had it in while it was under warranty and it was on the list to fix. It still does it and is getting worse.
Spray throttle body cleaner. Then scrub inside with toothbrush and respray. Good for 6 months
It's not a matter of needing lubricant. A gummy (sticky) build-up inside the Air Intake at the Throttle Valve, causes the throttle valve to stick. I don't know how to stop the Gum from building up but if you want to remove it-- Clean the inside of the Throttle Valve with carb cleaner and a rag. It will stop the problem for a while.
Have the same vehicle, a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Also have the same problem w/ the sticking accelerator. I dope it up real good w/ WD-40 and axle grease. It works for a few days, then goes back to sticking. Drove over my $250 chainsaw the other day, wiping out the cutting bar on the saw. When the boys in DC get off Toyota's case I hope they open an investigation on this defect.
