The problem was most obvious after sitting for several days. It never caused any incident but I was aware it could happen so I was very careful not to put it in a precarious situation (tight parking, heavy on brake when starting out). I resolved it cheaply by cleaning the throttle plate area.

the gas pedal has stuck for a long time and repeated lubrication of the throttle cable and where the cable connects to the throttle didn, t work. Almost seems like I have a magnetic attraction to the throttle stop. Is that possible?

The gas pedal on my 2001 1500 Silverado with a 5.3L V8 sticks a little. When I go to accelerate it sticks causing the vehicle to jump when pressing on the gas pedal. Really gets annoying when stuck in stop and go traffic or in a parking lot.

Sometimes my gas pedal gets stuck when i go to press it and its worse when the truck is in idle. I would have to press it really hard for the truck to go and it kicks in the causes the truck to jerk. What might be the problem?

Had the same problem, just cleaned the throttle plate and I haven't had a problem with it since. It's been over 10,000 miles ago...
