Default St170 acclerator problem

Hi everyone, need some help driving home tonight my accelerator pedal was very difficult to push it felt like it was sticking and the response was also very bad. Pulled over to have a look the cable doesnt look like its catching anywhere, dont know what it could be.

Careful what you clean them with as they have a special coating on the inside of the throttle body
