gas pedal sticks help!
every time i start the car for the first time of the day
i put the car in gear and my gas pedal seems stuck
not locked in stuck just takes alot extra pressure from my foot to un hindge it and press it down then is moves up n down fine
i try not to put too much pressure on it cuz ill go speeding forward or backwards out of control
jsut very annoying.
not sure if the this is interior or transmission./engine related
anybody experience this? do i need to oil the pedal where its bolted to the floor?
do i need to check the transmission cable for adjustment?

Re: gas pedal sticks help!
is the pedal stuck when not putting your car in gear?
oiling and tightening/loosening the bolts for the pedal is always a good idea after 20 some odd years.
try checking for kinks in the throttle cable, or tight bends.

i think it is stuck when not in gear
only does it first time of the day tehn it moves freely or normally the rest of the day i drive it
jsut feels like its stuck and i gota slowly gradually put more weight or pressure on the pedal and it'll release and allow me to drive normally
theni can stop n go park and drive as i please all day without any problem

Re: gas pedal sticks help!
sounds like a gunk or buildup on your throttle cable that solidifies over night. try cleaning your throttle cable and places where it attaches, also check your throttle itself for ease of opening.
