When I start the car and the engine is cold the gaspedal cant be moved. Once the engine is warm it works fine. I can push it before the engine is warm and it come lose and works after that. The car runs nice but its a enying problem. Something with the cold start?

Take off the air induction hose at the manifold, open throttle and clean butter fly and around intake with a throttle body cleaner and a lint free rag, get into the edges of the butterfly and where it sits in the throttle body, the muck you clean out is fuel residue which becomes sticky and binds up the throttle.
