About a year ago I  took my Sentra to the dealer to fix a sticky
accelerator problem.  It seemed to me that the gas pedal had to be
pushed harder then normal.  The dealer cleaned something and the problem
went away.  Does anyone know what the problem is and what I can do
myself to clean.
Thanks

They likely cleaned the throttle body. Sure, you can do it. Buy some
throttle body cleaner, take an old toothbrush and have at it.
