Sticky Accelerator

Hi,

I got a really annoying issue.  :banghead:

When cold the accelerator pedal is fine, once the car is warm the pedal becomes sticky. It hits a point when you have to give it a lot more pressure to more it down, once passed the sticky point it it hits the floor so you end up kangaroo jumping.  :oops:  looking like I can't drive

I changed the cable and greased the pedal.

 :dontknow:
Any ideas

Is the run of the cable nice and smooth? Have you cleaned out the tb and checked that for smooth operation? Have you greased the pedal pivot in the cabin?
