Default Yahoo! Stuck Throttle!!

I was passing a slow moving pickup last night....mashed the pedal...got around him , lifted off the gas, and the pedal stayed flat on the floor! I tapped the pedal a few times and it finally came up. Everything I checked seems in order..The springs seem intack, no frayed cabels...any ideas?...should I spray the carb with cleaner, and then WD-40 everything, are there some other parts that might be hidded that might be failing? any ideas would be apreciated. ( 95 DX-with the usual bolt ons )
