Best Answer

The accelerator linkage sticks because you need the throttle body serviced. Its gunked up and the butterfly from the air horn (intake) is sticking to the body of that part. Mine usually has to be done annually. Not sure if this is an eternal problem or if it has been just since ethanol came into the picture.

Why does the accelerator stick when it is depressed but only when the 1993 Prism sits for a time and you have to really punch the accelerator hard to push it in?

Could be a sticking throttle cable, but my guess would be a dirty throttle body causing the butterfly to stick in the closed position after it sits for a while. Try cleaning the whole area with carb cleaner, try not to let it go down into the intake.
