Sometimes my gas pedal can be kinda hard to press. It usually only happens when I'm taking off from a complete stop. I try to press lightly for a smooth take-off but nothing happens so I have to press harder and then the gas pedal finally gives and my engine revs making me look like an idiot that doesnt know how to drive stick. The pedal itself seems to be fine so I'm thinking it might be the throttle cable. What do you guys think?

Mr_E is probably right. I had the exact thing happen to mine. Took it to the dealership and they cleaned it out for me fairly cheap($20-$30 I think). But had I known exactly what it was, I probably could have done it myself.
