Yes it could be the throttle body and this was the case with mine. Mine would be stuck when the car was not used for a day or so but otherwise worked fine. The accelterator had to be pressed hard and when it broke free, there was more than desired acceleration. I found the thottle body to be gummed up pretty bad particulaly on the down stream side. I could not clean it well without removing the thottle body. Once I had it removed, cleaning was easy with some carb cleaner and a toothbrush. Cleaning the throttle body restored normal function.

The TPS is located on the throttle body of the intake system. Follow the air cleaner duct until it clamps onto the throttle body (which is right after the air duct). If you pull off the air duct you should see the throttle plate which moves accordingly with the gas pedal. The TPS is mounted in line with the throttle plate on the side of the housing, usually black. Look for an electrical connector.
