You might want to try disconnecting the cable at the throttle body and work the throttle arm to see how free it is. If it has little to no roughness or sticking then hold the cable while someone moves the pedal inside the car. If the cable is sticking or rough then you will feel it. If it is the cable it is easy to replace. You open the small access plate at the front of the tunnel then hook the front of a new cable to the rear of the old one and pull it through the tunnel. If cable and throttle feel fine, then check the advance mechanism in the dist to see if the weights have gotten rusty and are sticking which can happen easily on 914s. Good luck.
