    Why did you make a new thread?

    You already have a thread about your motor knocking.

    I just don't understand you.

    I know this was separate to the issue i don't know why you take it personally..

    And how would i check for a sticking throttle body/ what would fix it?

    I don't know why but think this statement is one of the funniest I have seen on GPF.

    Go under the hood (engine off) and pull up on your throttle spring and see if it springs back to home position. If it does, have someone push down the gas pedal and release. (also engine off) You watch and see if it does the same. If it doesn't return to home, your cable is sticking.

    Beyond the knocking which I'm ignoring at the moment since you have the other thread. Would you like to give us some info about the issue? Currently there's not enough info to even talk about the problem.
    I drink..so consider that when reading my posts.

    Attempting to diagnose this engine is pointless.

    Get the knock fixed first.
