Fraying throttle cable is the obvious answer, but get down into the footwell and make sure the pedal assembly isn't catching on anything.

You don't "fix" it - you change it.

Had a similar problem with mine recently.
Checked the usual things out....ICV, MAF, throttle linkage, etc.

Eventually found that the mat on the driver's side was resting on the gas pedal & stopping it coming all the way back.

DOH !!! :o:

I trapped the throttle cable in the rocker cover/head joint,gave me full throttle and a cracked rocker cover...
