I got a stuck pedal when it is very cold (25F early morning). No problems when engine is warm. Looked through this forum, and it seems to be related to residue in the throttle body. Wanted to investigate. Problem is, I can't figure out what it looks like. Where is it? If I am facing the front of the car and looking at the engine, is it to the left side towards the air filter/battery, behind towards the windshield, in front towards the radiator, or to the right?

Also, is it okay to use any generic carburetor cleaner from an auto-shop will do, or should get something from something Honda dealer?

The throttle body is on the top back of the engine, on the left side. follow the intake tube back and it will be the first metal piece it attaches to and then the throttle body is attached to the intake manifold.

It looks like this

But obviously you won't be able to see the copper colored area because the intake tube will be covering it. You will have to remove the intake tube to clean it(just a screw/bolt to loosen it).

Any carb cleaner should do.
