ok, my gas pedal keeps getting stuck. after i drive it hard or even at a long stop light, my gas pedal gets stuck. i got ur the dash and sprayed some WD40 on the gas pedal mechanism. i checked the cable under the hood and im just left scratching my head wondering why the hell my pedal gets stuck. luckily its doesnt do it when im driving. its after i drive it and i come to a stop. any ideas? suggestions? advice? thanks in advance.

1) Make sure the throttle cable is adjusted to have about 1/2" of free play.

2) Clean the throttle body to prevent the throttle plate from sticking partially open.

3) If the problem persists, replace the throttle cable.

it seems like the pedal it self is getting stuck. when i get a chance ill clean the throttle body n see if that works. i just started a new job, and i got school at night. so i have hardly anytime to work on my car.
