Here are some more information for Race Gas Filler:
This relates to a 2002 Buick LeSabre with a 3.8L engine, but the same general principles would apply to most any car with the same problem, I'd guess.
Occasionally, the accelerator would briefly resist moving when pressed. Then, when sufficient pressure was applied, it would break loose and operate normally. This seemed to be happening more frequently and the pressure required to break it loose became greater.
Time to look at it!
Step one was to remove the plastic shroud which covers the engine. This can easily be done by unscrewing the oil fill spout (the 3-inch extension onto which the oil filler cap fits) by unscrewing it a half turn and lifting it out. This exposed the fuel injector body and mechanism.
By manually working the sector pulley which was activated by the accelerator, I concluded that the butterfly was sticking in the closed position. But how to get at it was the problem!
I removed the rubber boot between the air box and the fuel injector body. But this revealed a "screen" which totally covered the intake!
That "screen" was held in by a "C" ring which I removed next. But the "screen" didn't come out easily. It's not a flat screen; it's a honeycomb piece about 1/4 inch in thickness. It worked best to work it out a little all around the circumference and going around multiple times. I used a knife blade to pry it out, but next time I'd use a wire with a hook on the end to go in and pull it out from the inside.
- I think its purpose is two-fold:
- Create a laminar air flow into the chamber, and
- Serve as a "heat absorber" or flame suppressor in event of a backfire.
Once that was removed, I could see the butterfly and could pretty much confirm that was where the problem was. I cleaned it up around the circumference, but it still stuck. Then I squirted some AMSOIL MP (sort of like WD-40) into the butterfly shaft bushings.
That did the trick! No more sticking!
How long it will stay that way remains to be seen!
If it fails again, I'll remove the throttle position sensor on the front of the injector body. That should expose one end of the butterfly shaft, and that was the end which gave the most trouble this time. (This requires a Torx wrench to remove.)
What was the cause? Truly, I don't know. It acted like there was "old grease" in there which gummed up, but doubt that it was lubricated with grease. Maybe "sticky stuff" in the gasoline over 60k miles?

Music Sounds Great With A Sirius Satellite Radio
Are you a music fanatic? Do you love your tunes? Do you hate interruptions by commercials, news and other public service announcements while you are trying to enjoy your favorite music? With Sirius Satellite Radio, you can have the best of the music world. A constant stream of your favorite music presented free of commercial interruption brought to you by satellite.
Whether you want to listen at home, or if you spend a lot of time in your car, the Sirius Satellite Radio is perfect. This radio can either be hardwired into your car's stereo system or it can be set up in your home. Either way, you will have an antenna that will receive music signals from a network of satellites.
Be aware, however, that if you install your radio in your car, you will temporarily lose programming when driving through an underground tunnel or parking under an awning at a business such as a bank or gas station. This is because the awning temporarily interrupts the satellite signals.
You may wonder why satellite radio is better than traditional FM radio. One of the first bonuses of satellite radio is the service. Because satellite radio is broadcast through a variety of satellites, you can pick up each and every radio station where ever you may travel. In traditional radio, the signals are transmitted from a single tower.
Once you drive out of that tower's range, you lose your radio station. Also, FM radio stations feature a variety of commercials, news programs and other fillers in an attempt to make enough money to pay to keep their stations on the air. Satellite radio, on the other hand, is funded by its members who pay a fee in exchange for the services. This way the music and programming is not interrupted with information and commercials you are not interested in.
Another selling point for satellite radio is the wide variety of music and information channels you can subscribe to. You can listen to almost any genre of music you wish. This includes jazz, classical, hard rock, Christian, contemporary or bluegrass music. The packages also include music from any particular decade you like best. For example, if you like 80s music, Sirius Satellite Radio allows you to listen to it 24 hours a day.
Satellite radio also offers programming other than music channels. For instance, you can listen to up to the minute news and weather. You can also tune into public radio, religious discussions or political stations. Programming also includes comedy channels as well as music channels geared primarily toward children. Like sports? You can listen to games offered by the NHL, NFL, NBA or NASCAR. Coverage also includes college games, horse racing and soccer.
If you like your music and your radio, you might forever give up your FM receiver for a satellite radio once you try it. These radios, such as the Sirius Satellite Radio, offer uninterrupted music and programming in exchange for a small fee. You can listen to a wide variety of programming when ever you want regardless of where you may travel.
