Throttle sticking on 2001 dodge intrepid - 2001 Dodge Intrepid

It's a cable that runs from the pedal to the throttle body

You can take a can of carburator cleaner and begin spraying around all your vacuum lines, throttle body and intake manifold. When you hit an area that has a vacuum leak your idle will change. From that point you have a general are of the location of the leak and you can narrow it down from there. I hope this helps and good luck.

The first thing to check when it gets too hot is to make sure the electric fan is working. If it's not, then that is the problem. If it's working, then check the following.
If the radiator and overflow tank are topped off and not low, then change the thermostat. It's most likely sticking. Very common problem and a cheap/easy repair.

If the gas pedal is stiff and with mild pressure it pops/lets go and the car goes, the throttle body needs cleaned the throttle valve is sticking in its bore do to build up..

Check the throttle positioning sensor.

You will have to remove the fuel rail and all the injectors as an assembly then once it's out you can remove the #6 injector from the rail. It doesn't hurt to spray a little wd40 around the injectors to ease removal sometimes they stick a little, then wiggle the whole rail gently as you lift up on it to remove it. Good luck.

Your IAC,(idle air control) motor may be the culprit. I'd remove it, clean Pintle (pointed end) with throttle body cleaner good & spray well inside port it comes out of. I believe on that engine, it's at front of throttle body, under TP sensor. If it cures the problem, then starts doing it again before too long, replace it.

to find starter find battery find the hot red wire coming off follow down to end of red wire there is starter.
