Then you can clean, inspect, lube the mechanism behind the pedal.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Pull the pedal assy out of the car and clean the sliding/pivoting pieces in the mechanism behind the pedal. There is one screw that holds the assy take that out and slide the assy up a little to disengage the "tabs" that hold the assy in. Then you can clean, inspect, lube the mechanism behind the pedal. There is a thread on Renntech that describes this.

"My car is an '02 - I don't know when or how the pedal may have changed for other years.
There is one screw holding in the accelerator pedal assembly. Remove this screw. You then need to slide the assembly up about 1/2 inch and then pull it out. You could now disassemble it, but what I did was to slide up the boot (the rubber thingie) that protects the interior.
The way this thing works is that there is a rod that connects the pedal via a ball and socket joint to a half round pivot that is connected to the throttle cable. It's hideously over-engineered, but with the engine in the wrong place I guess it makes sense. I squirted a little oil on the ball and socket joint and worked the pedal several times. There is also a hole in the back of the assembly, so I squirted some more oil from the backside. There is nothing electronic in there, so there are no worries about oil messing something up.
Installation is the reverse of removal. Except that I had trouble getting the stupid thing lined-up to get the screw back in. You'll figure it out - just be sure to line up the round tab and get it inserted into the bracket. Once I got that, it was fine. Note that it is easier to reinsert the boot before you put the assembly back in the car. That keeps out the dirt that probably caused the problem in the first place.
Now the throttle pedal is nice and smooth.
Good luck!
