My "99 Silverado did the same thing. I cleaned it with WD-40 when it got bad and that helped for a while.It also developed a spark knock.One mechanic said nothing he could do. Just had to run premium gasoline. Another mechanic recomended that he do what he called a 3 stage fuel system cleaning. Don"t know what all that entails but it was right at $ 100 with labor and all. It cured any sticking with the throttle ,no more spark knock, cured a hesitation that the truck had developed and increased my power and fuel mileage. I mean to tell you there is a huge difference in performance. Might want to look into it ! By the way , I have 99k miles on my Silverado and now she runs like new. I even have the original brake pads on it. I am looking at trading for a new extended cab what with the special pricing right now. Hope this helps ! Ford Man
