The 3.8L engine found in some years and models of Buick cars uses a throttle body to regulate the amount of air flowing into the engine. This throttle body has a butterfly valve on the front which is opened and closed with the throttle cable. The throttle body needs occasional maintenance, including cleaning and lubricating the linkage. To do this, you can remove the throttle body from the engine, which should take about an hour to do.

Why would the throttle on your 2000 Ford Focus be sticking?

the reason the throttle would be sticking on your focus is that it (the actual unit) could be dirty. or the throttle cable could have dirt in its casing. what you need too do is remove the throttle cable and spray engine degreaser in the casing and hang it up too let the dirt and grime drip from it. be sure to use wd-40 to relubricate the cable. now as of the throttle body do the same thing. but use a non abrasive cloth and wipe the unit clean. make sure there is no dirt in any small cracks or crevises.
