Default Gas Pedal sticking at wot.

Like the thread states my gas pedal sticks at wot. If I tap the break or shift it seems to return. When I parked the car I pushed the gas pedal to the floor and then lifted it up with my foot. When I did this I hear a little click. Is this a simple fix? I don't floor mats, so that's not the problem.

Check the throttle body, make sure it does not stick

That's the problem. The throttle body cable (I think that's whats is called) is getting stuck on a hose coming from the throttle body.

Problem solved. Replace rubber hose with PVC hose and now the cable linkage doesn't get caught.
