Default Sticking throttle

G'day fellas,
My XR8 has had this issue for years. Some days it OK(just a little) then others it's not good. The go fast pedal has to be forced down to get it to go. It seems that there's a lot of resistance when you ease off to zero acceleration then try to put your foot down. You can't ease on the power. You have push it harder then she launches. Every other way it feels normal. Doesn't get stuck on. Any ideas?
Have tried a few things. All moving points lubed in some way from pedal to throttle body. Inside throttle body cleaned.
