<VV> Gas Pedal / idle problem

[Harry Yarnell]

Gas pedal pivot (on the floor at the base of the pedal) are known to stick.
Try disconnecting the linkage under the pedal (in the tunnel) and lubing the
pivot from above. Don't be surprised if you have to remove the pivot assy to
the bench for further cleaning and oiling.
