New to this site... did a search on coil over kits that could be done for my 2002 Fx4. Couldn't find any thing other than the prerunner kits. Anyone knows any off the shelf kit besides the prerunner kits.

on my 97 f150 the throttle or gas peddle sticks at about 4.5 5 rpms. it only happens when its cold out side below freezing and after i have been driving for a while or if i get on it. it will stick like it is in cruise control and if i put it in park it revs up to 5k and stays there. i sprayed the peddle and all visible components with wd40 and greased the cable by the throttle body. Any one have any ideas??? It happens every winter when it gets cold. shops cant seem to figure it out i have fixed vaccum leaks and sensors still accurs.

Do you feel a mechanical binding?

There is a second return spring that is connected to the throttle body and throttle plate. Check to make sure that is there. It it's a reverse spring (pulls instead of pushes). If that's there then disconnect your throttle cable to from the throttle body and manually open and close the throttle plate and see if it sticks. If it doesn't stick then it's In the throttle/peddle linkage
