Accelerators

What could cause an accelerator to stick slightly at the top? I have a 2000 mitsubishi colt 1.3 resolution. Whenever i go to accelerate the pedal sticks slightly at the top requiring a quick short kick to force it down.

Quite possibly it could be something as simple as your floor mat slipping up!

Could also be the cable starting to stick.

But possibly something snagging the pedal / cable or the pivot in your engine bay.

Usually the throttle butterfly stop screw, possibly someone tampered with it,
bring it to a mechanic, is an easy fix.
