I replaced my accelerator cable for the same reason (sticky). At first the
pedal with new cable was TOO easy to depress. I like the pedal to have some
resistance for driving comfort. To remedy this I added a 2nd spring on the
throttle body where the cable attaches. Now my right foot is happy :)

New accelerator cable.  You can try to lube the old one as well.
