1999.5 PF Accelerator Paddle "Sticky"

I just passed 150,000 miles on my 1999.5 PF so last weekend I took it to my mechanic to have it serviced.

Ever since that my accelerator paddle has been intermittently "sticky".

Let me explain. If I stop at a light, and step on the brake paddle to bring the vehicle to a complete stop. When the light turns green and I step on the gas paddle, sometimes (not all the time) it will be "stuck" and will not depress. I will have to tap on it a few times and then it will yield.

Any idea what caused this? Does a 150,000 mile service involve any servicing of the accelerator paddle? Something they did or this is just a coincidence?

Since it is intermittent it may be difficult for them to diagnose and reproduce this. It seems to only happen when the vehicle stopped. I do not remember it ever happening when I am on the highway moving at 60.

What services did the mechanic perform? You might check under the hood to see if the throttle cable my have been repositioned for some service and then not replaced in the correct position.

Just the routine 150,000 mile service, was not a specific repair or anything. Thanks.
