Cable may be getting old and deteriorating. Check that all the way to the throttle body. Also might be a good time to clean your throttle body along with the butterfly valve etc.

Heres what mine looked like years ago when I did it.. (My throttle was sticky, it would hang up then smooth out)

BEFORE


AFTER









Check the cable first. It's never a bad idea to clean up your TB either way. My truck ran so much better afterward. EGR ports were partially clogged.

I had this problem on my 97 and i used a special tool for cleaning cables on dirtbikes and it made an improvement, not like brand new but made the pedal way easier to push then what it was.
