Thanks for the advice. The WD-40 sat overnight and penetrated a little
more, today the pedal is very smooth. I beleive it was a dry cable on
the throttle body end that was causing it. I guess the heat and dust
over a period of time causes this. I plan to lube it better with
lithium grease when temps. warm up a bit or when it gets dry again, wich
ever comes first.
