In the last two weeks, the accelerator pedal has stuck three times after
approximately 1" of travel.  In two ocassions after a few minutes it
popped back out by itself.  In the other, I had to push the linkage by
hand to free it.  In all intances it was during highway driving at
constant speed (no using the cruise control).  The van is now parked
until fixed.


I think that it is a worn out cable sleeve, or a weak spring somewhere
along the linkage.  I intend to work on it this weekend, so any
suggestions or comments on the matter are greatly appreciated.
