I would recommend the following: Unhook the cable at the engine and move the throttle arm to see if it is the cable for sure, if the throttle arm is free, remove the floor board and make sure the throttle bell crank assy. is clean and rust free and not boundup with junk, check the stop bolt for the throttle to make sure you can actually open the throttle all the way which will require hooking up the cable on the engine again, clean and lube the area with spray lube, but not tooo much. Finally, the cable can be lubed by disconnecting the cable at the engine, making a funnel fron stiff paper and taping it to the outer housing and holding it up and letting a little teflon or other synthetic oil run inside. I do this every winter and make sure you use an oil that won't gunk or thicken up as it get old. If the above fails to help, trace the cable as there may be a kink in it, such as where it runs by the shift linkage, etc. As an aside, you can put some washers under the right side of the pedal and cause it to tilt over closer to the brake pedal so it is easier to heel/toe during an autocross. Make sure the brake pedal is at the same height as the accel pedal when you have the brake pushed down hard will help also.
