Accelerator

Need help fixing my accelerator. Every once in a while, when I step on the pedal to get going, it sticks, I have to put a significant amount of pressure to get to move.

Anybody have any ideas?

also my transmission, it works fine in the morning, but for example, if i drive it down to the store, and jump in the vehicle again, the vehicle starts going for about 2 seconds and then if feels like it delays then catches then delays again i have to put it in nuetral while in motion then back to drive, then its ok.

any ideas?

thanks!

For all you top poster wieners.... Would putting this at the bottom help?

I also had this problem on my '99. Been a long time ago, but I think Ford had a recall on the cable. Also the throttle plate sticks and has to be cleaned.

Sticking on my 94 was caused by dirt at the intake butterfly hinge. good luck df
