Sticking throttle...

So the last couple times I really stomped on the throttle, it seems to be sticking. After I let off, the rpms are pretty high, and will probably go 20 mph w/o touching the gas... I pulled up on the pedal, and nothing. It seems after it sits for a bit it goes back to normal. Any quick fixes, or should I replace some parts.
Thanks,

Might have some dirt or gummed up throttle shaft try spraying it down with some carb cleaner you could spray a little wd40 on it as well.

Check your motor mounts. A broken mount caused the same problem for me a few years ago.

Not yet trlblzr, but keeping my eyes open ;) . I will try to spray some of it down. The motor mounts are new, last year anyways.
