Sometimes when I try to accelerate my vehicle, the gas pedal seems to get stuck. If I apply more pressure to the pedal with my foot, the car accelerates. How to fix!?!?

What type of car? What type of engine? Fuel injected or Carburreted? Try spraying the linkage with some WD-40 and turn it by hand to make sure it doesn't stick. Next, Clean the Carburetor or throttle body with the appropriate cleaner. Check all the linkages, springs etc. to make sure they are not binding. Hope this helps, Jess.
2002 Toyota. Do the above techniques. With this addition. Check out a repair manual at your local library and go to the section pertaining to throttle linkage. Some throttle bodies are connected to the Transmission via a transmission valve. This valve is a plunger type valve that if it binds could cause a stone hard feeling on the accelerator pedal. Check the linkage on the tranny make sure there are no obstructions. Replace any weak springs, broken or bent plastic fittings etc. Next adjust your transmission valve cable according to your repair manual.

Not to alarm you but especially on a Toyota the throttle cable (gas pedal cable) sometimes one little strand of the cable will break causing this problem I usually repair this myself; check with your local mechanic to see if it is frayed. If it is replace it if not spray it with a little wd40.

What's the year, make and model?
You may have a dirty intake (?) unit where the butterfly valve is sticking. You'll need to have the cleaned out
Happens with my Pathfinder.

sounds like throttle cable is coming apart or bad throttle position sensor should get fixed asap or it could stick wide open and cause accident
