I got in my car and pressed the throttle and i heard a spring like pop of some sort. Then after the throttle seemed to stick while in idle position and take some force to break free but other then that the truck runs fine.

See picture below. Is the small pin on the throttle supposed to be touching the semicircular thing where the second arrow is pointing? The reason i ask is because they are both shiny and worn so i think they used to touch at some point.

Has anyone run across this before?

Looks like that spring popped off or broke by the hook on the left side

I don't know if you've already resolved this, and I'm not sure which of the 3 springs is the culprit here, but you can buy 2 of the 3 springs from Courtesy Parts:



They don't list a part number for the inner-most spring.
