Under the hood, by the brake booster you will see the terminal point of the throttle cable - where it attaches to the "throttle position sender" (I call it that - I don't know the exact name). With an assistant, observe the movement of the mechanism as the pedal is pressed. If it moves from the start of movement of the pedal then mechanically the cable is adjusted correctly. It could then be the throttle position sender which is attached to the cable at that point which is bad...that would be my guess.
