Default Sticky Pedal

Lately my gas pedal has been feeling like it sticks a little when you give it gas to start out or change gears sometimes. I put on a ported TB and it was sticky after that but it turned out to be the idle set screw was to low and the blade was turning to far forward. Now it feels sticky again. When you open and close the TB blade by hand it doesn't have the feeling that thats the problem. I then took off the traction control unit cap and turned that it felt like it was catching there a little but then it was fine after that. it came right back after driving a little so now i'm stumped on this has anyone experienced this before? thanks for any help

JR
