Sticky gas pedal, makes taking off from a stop a pain in the arse Options

[djultimate]

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?

I have the same problem and found that the TB linkage sticks to some sort of magnetic switch next to it. I haven't had time to play with it but I'll figure something out.
The wierd part is that it only does it in certain areas. When I'm in austin, it's hard to reproduce the problem but when I'm in mexico, it happens everytime in first gear.
