Notchy Accelerator Fixed

I've always felt my accelerator was a bit notchy or sticky. Have run Techron through it a time or two without really fixing the problem. Since I have EGAS, I knew it couldn't be a sticky cable. Took the throttle body off today and the flap had a nice ring of sticky crud all the way around it. Cleaned it off with some carb cleaner, let it dry, and replaced it.

While I was in the neighborhood, I checked the MAF sensor. With all the talk of K&N oil gunking up the MAF, thought I better check it (put a K&N filter in over a yr ago). Clean as a whistle. Shot it with the MAF spay I bought anyway and put it back.

Problem solved. The notchy feeling is gone. Nothing but smooooth sailing.
