Default Fiesta mk5 - Sticky Throttle

Hi everyone, new to the site.. looking good!

I searched for this but couldnt find it in a previous topic so thought id ask here!.. My 1.25 zetec-se fiesta has had a "sticky" throttle since ive had it. Ie the first " of travel is sticky and not smooth to depress, and this occurs further up the pedal too ...

I have tried cleaning the throttle body plate (around the edges of the plate and the tb itself) but that made no difference, also tried adjusting the throttle cable but it seemed fine before. Pulling the cable from within the car seems to give the same effect, its not smooth to pull. The throttle linkage seems to move freely however (i think thats the correct term, the yellow bit where the cable links round by the throttle body!!)... and the throttle body plate seems to move just fine too.

Would anyone have any ideas how I can sort this? It's really annoying me.

Many thanks!!

Duncan
