Default sticky throttle

So if you guys recall I posted a while back about my car revving up pretty high on start up sometimes. I was at my friends house today and I happened to move my car and it revved up real high. SO after I got out I made the comment to my friend " I hate that revving crap at times" And his dad kinda said what do you mean. I explained what I does, he said it is a sticking throttle. What do you guys think? I thought about grabbing that Seafoam deep creep and cleaning it out. Also how do you access it on a 3.4 l engine.

Your throttle body is right before the intake manifold. It'll have one cable running to it that's from your peddle and another for the cruise if equipt. Just unbolt ( might just pull off. I'm not sure havent done anything to a 3.4.) the black elbow that's infront of it and spray some sea foam in there. Or you can take the throttle body off and clean it real good with cleaner.
