Default Throttle sticking at idle

Hi guys, I am having a an intermitent throttle pedal sticking when I come to stop usually after higher speeds or after coming downhill. Feels like I have to press the gas harder to get it unstuck then its fine. I have no other pedal problems when moving only occasionally when stopped. I'm guessing it could be some carbon buildup on the butterfly valve and when it gets heated up it causes it to stick? Any ideas welcomed,thank you.

May want to trace your throttle cable and inspect it to ensure no debris is hanging on it or it isn't fraying. If its a no, then proceed in removing the intake tube and cleaning that throttle body. Should just do both at once, clean first and while it dries chase down the cable.
