Do you have a scanner to view throttle position as seen by the PCM? That would be a pretty good indicator, especially if it's reading higher which would cause the touchy pedal feeling.

I bought the entire pedal assy only to find out it was tuning. IIRC AE gives a % for throttle position.

Somewhere I read about folks removing the pedal assy and spraying contact cleaner in the holes on the switch housing. I think this was to cure a "dead" pedal, but I guess it couldn't hurt to try since it is a near free repair. If you're in to audio and you have some deoxit laying around that'd probably work better.
