Sticking accelerator pedal

Is the pedal actually sticking or are revs increasing as you bring the clutch to bite? Might be the ECU doing some emissions fiddling or something. I know in my car you can gently declutch and the ECU will increase fuelling to keep the engine running, even up gradients.

Frayed or kinked accelerator cable maybe?

Unhook it from the throttle linkage and pedal, and pull it by hand to see if it moves freely. (I am assuming this car has a conventional accelerator cable, not electronic rev-by-wire :))

Thanks for both your suggestions.

The pedal was just sticking, no increase in revs.

I managed to 'fix' the problem by just wiggling the clutch & accelerator cables. I will though try pulling it by hand at a later date as I need to fit some new pedals soon.

thanks,
