Default Gas pedal sticking at the top.

I had a potz tb installed and had my friend adjust the cruise/tcs piece in the cable at the same time so I am hoping you guys can point me in the right direction? Is it the tb or the cable?
It happens after I take my foot off the gas when I put my foot back down. If I don't take my foot fully off the gas it is fine. It will not do it with the car off & I think it starts as the car gets warm. I could use the help, it is quite annoying. Thanks in advance. Brian.

I kinda have the same issue with the same TB but its only BARELY noticeable so I didnt really care too much for it. 90% sure its the TB.

It sounds like your throttle body blade is sticking. Try adjusting the adjustment screw (under the stop tab where your cable attaches on the passenger side) out a little bit and see if that takes care of it.

Guys,
Thank you so much for the reply s. I will try that and report back. My sticking is very noticeable and started after I made the ingenious decision to have it ported.
