My gas peddle got stuck while I was driving my 1999 - 4.0 -180,000 miles.
I opened the hood and the mechanism around the spring near the end of the throttle cable was stuck, I loosened it with my hand, then hit the gas peddle a few times and it was fine.
I think what happened was when I was doing a coolant flush I was messy and got coolant all over that area where the spring is, which probable wiped away any of the lubricant or caused it to stick.
I sprayed it down with wd-40 and it seems well lubricated now.
Should I change the spring or anything else, everything seems fine now.
