Default STUCK

Hey, I gatta problem Nd I don't know what to look for..? My gas pedal gets stuck at every <U>complete stop.</U> Really bugs me that I gatta rev just a pinch to get off the line. Could it be my throttle cable? Also from gas pedal being stuck at every stop (driving a long time period), my right axel "pops" here N there. Sometimes two pop sounds. I have no clue why my gas pedal is always stuck, I might just half to replace my right axel. Please no flaming..

Thanxs

theres this little stud behind the throttle body with a hex opening and a nut in it what this does is act like a stopper for the bracket the throttle cable attaches to, if you turn it one way the throttle will stay open a little more if you turn it the other it closes alittle more i messed with mine when i went down to the drag strip "it was free and just for fun"
What i did was open it more so it idled so to stay at about 3500rpms my luanch point, when i closed it back up i didnt closed it to much so i had that problem, or maybe you need to lube something, or maybe theres a kink i think cleaning what you can see and then messn with that stud is your best bet.

as for your axle, i'd check your engine mounts first. one could very well be loose or broken. inspecting the axle is easy though. see if the boots are ripped or leaking, if so, it's bad. they're not even worth rebuilding because they can be bought so cheap.
