Possibly one of the throttle return springs broke, friend of mine had it happen and would have to stomp on the pedal to get past the "hard spot"

that's what it is. I took the cable off and it was fine, then I looked at the return and moved it and it was hard to move so its the spring. Thanks for the help guys. bought a throttle cable for nothing but its good to have spare parts!

I threw the return spring away about 120,000 miles ago and never had this issue. WTF.

I m new here, but the throttle assy have been on the recall before so I would suggest that you call your nearest dealer ship and give them your vin number and see if you are covered ok good luck
