So I've noticed recently that my gas pedal has been acting funny. It seems to happen when its raining outside and more so now in the winter. When I'm driving for an extended period of time, usually highway driving, when the pedal is in the same position for a while holding highway speeds. When I pull of and come to a stop, the next time I push my gas pedal, it feels like its stuck, so I have to push harder and it usually results in my over revving. Any ideas?
Also, the foot plate on my clutch pedal seems to be loose, I haven't gone in there to take a close look yet to see if a screw is loose, but it just tilts up and down, not by much though

Try cleaning out your throttle body housing, they get kind of gunked up over time.
As for the clutch pedal? I bet the clutch master is leaking or it was leaking and the hydraulic fluid is eating the rubber of the pedal pad, I doubt the pedal itself is broken.

Did you replace your stock one with a Toyota one? lol
The pedal just kind of works on a lever. Maybe get under there and check if anything is binding

My pedal would stick really bad in the cold and I replaced my thrtottle body with a metal one. My other focus is doing it really bad also and I tried to clean that one out but still sticky.

If it's a stock TB that's sticking and cleaning it doesn't help you can adjust the throttle stop screw which usually helps. If it's an aftermarket TB you can do the same thing in most cases.
