You talking about like in the morning when you get in you got to apply more than usual force to get it to go down?

i replaced my clutch w/ a 6-puck and ever since my pedal will stick closer to the floor seeming like its all the way in, but you can still depress it and use it like normalmy mechanic said its nothing to worry about, you can pull it out to normal distance w/ your hand or foot if you want but then it sticks in again

Wierd...my S13 does that too. Like you have to push on it harder to pop it or something. It goes away after that intial pop until the next day. I haven't really gotten around to look at it though.

check to make sure your throttle cable isnt binding. if so, use some powdered graphite to lube it

Try cleaning your throttle plate, thats what it sounds like to me. Butterfly sticks do to the carbon...

Yeah...that sounds like what it could be. I'm surprised I didn't think of that. Throttle cleaner rules.
