Throttle sticking

What causes the gas pedal to stick a little bit? Right at the top You have to kinda press a little bit harder then normal and then breaks free and it's good. My wifes Bonneville does it and my boys 87 mustang Gt does it very little and my other boys 88 mustang Gt does it the worst and being stick shift it's gets pretty jumpy.Is there something to do with the throttle bodies that causes this? Any help would be great I tried spraying the throttle cables and linkage if you wanna call it that. Thanks.

Yes I would check the trhottle body where the cable hooks up it could be sticking. You can remove the cable pretty easy and check the movement of the throttle boddy it self if it is smooth with no hesitations then check the cable it self check for the plastic crimpped and try to ull it manually it it seems ok then check the accelerator ptal it self see if there is any binding, might need some lub on it.
