IT WILL NOT BE THE CABLE !!! check the linkage were the arc is on throttle body that will be dry and needs some grease

Interesting you should say that Costina, my tb had a hole drilled slightly on the wonk that goes through the centre of the linkag/arm and acts as a pivot, this caused severe binding on mine, just machined the bolt stem down a bit.
