Default Sticky Gas Pedal

Now that it's colder outside, it seems that my gas pedal is sticking a little, it's very noticable when the car is cold, but it still does it when it's warm, just not as noticably. It only sticks right when I try to press on it, not at any other point. For example, it won't stick at 1/2 throttle or anything, only when I press the gas to launch...what do I need to do to fix this and how would I do it?

Thanks!

Chances are it's not the pedal itself, but your throttle body.... take your intake off and clean it out, and grease up the spring.

I'd say its the cable. Mine is doing the same thing. I cleaned the throttle body and spring. Still does it.
