The accelerator cable coule be stuck. Grease the linkages at the accelerator pedal and the throttle body (on the engine).

there isn't a cable in the system, only the elbow links. Take the air cleaner out, then you will see the linkage. Have someone actuate the gas pedal for you as you lub the system.
