Unhappy sticky throttle

It seems on occasion that my throttle peddle is sticky. Only at the start of a drive , when i take off. I need to apply just a little extra preasure to the peddle to get her going. It seems as though something is restricting it.. At the same time she wont shift into 2nd. My remedy is to quickly floor the peddle for an instant,not letting the turbo spool up, and it free`s up. Then it will shift fine. The problem wont re-occur until she sits again. It only happens once in a while.

Anyone else have this problem?

Nope, sorry. Is it throwing any codes? You might want to take it to the dealer and document a sticking throttle "just in case".

edit: it just occured to me that I think there was a TSB for a dead-pedal or something of the sort. You might want to go looking thru them and see if thats what your experiencing. Try a search on dead pedal.
