Throttle Cable Sticking!!

I noticed that my idle was kind of high after I would come to light, and that I had to push the brakes down alittle harder than usual. Well the other night I was checking out my new exhaust gasket, to make sure it wasn't leaking and was reving my motor, and notice that my Throttle Cable was sticking, What kind I do to fix this?

I'd check the condition of the spring. Happened to me once WOT and it was stuck, talk about scary.

If the cable is hanging in the housing, don't even mess with it - just replace it. It won't get better by itself, and will only get worse until you end up "freeing-up" your cable inside the rear end of a truck or brick wall.
