Accelerator Sticking on 87 300D!!!

The accelerator randomly sticks. The pedal does not stick. I can lift it up, but it's loose with no tension.

This is REALLY freaking me out, any help is appreciated.

Almost sounds like you lost the spring that makes it return (lift back up) after you take your foot off.

Accelerator

How about the cable under the hood. The throttle actuator maybe sticking instead since its electronic. If it goes bad it will be spendy. The cables dont normally stick.
