Default Sticking accelerator pedal

So basically when the car is off, the gas pedal is loose like a goos like it should. When i start the car up and drive, the pedal tends to stick. I basically push it and wait for it to catch. We have no clue what to do to get my pedal loose like its supposed to.

The cable could be sticking, or your return spring is getting weak.

Fire up the car with the hood open, open the throttle a couple times with your hand. If it springs closed like it should, you'll know it is something in the cable system. Does your cruise control work OK?

I only asked because the throttle cable goes from the pedal to the cruise to the throttle body.

Does it stick every time you press it down?
