Default Question about gas pedal

Well recently I just got a 2000 Accord with 55k miles on it. Yea very low miles. The only thing wrong with the accord is the gas pedal. If you don't drive the accord for like 2+ hours the gas pedal would get stuck. Like if you turn on the car and were to drive off, you would have to literally stomp on the pedal. But once you get it going and you turn off the car then turn it back on the pedal is fine. Anyone know what is wrong? Maybe some wd40? Thanks for all help =]

lol yeah it worked for me

i got the same car, just with 70Kmiles, i just sprayed the outside of the throttle body with some wd40, seemed to have worked, but if u want to try, get the little red straw and spray a little down the cable maybe so it moves smoother too

I sprayed the medal and ****, and I got to see how it works. I use lube instead of wd40.

Here's the fix;

Scrub out the ring of crud around the throttle plate. NO WIRE BRUSHES

A regular tooth brush will work?

is there a slight chance that by increasing the size of the throttle body passage by scrubbing out a ring of dirt will give me an extra 1horsepower??? other wise its ok cuz my pedaldoesnt stick
