My f430 has done 43k on it (km not miles) I noticed the throttle pedal started making some squeeky noises I sprayed silicon spray on the potentiometer or encoder (plastic piece) and the noise settled However there was a lot of dirt on the throttle spring So i removed the throttle pedal, it was quite easy, just remove the carpet piece around it (2 screws from memory) and then undo the small bolt and slide out the pin for the pedal Then remove the pedal and spring Cleaned it all up and greased the needle bearing inside Put it all back together and the throttle moves so smooth now! Actually made a big difference
