Check inside throttle body...the throttle plate could be dirty (especially around the edges). Carefully clean with a "sensor safe" throttle body cleaner. Don't let dirty fluid run down into the air passage to the IAC. (It's the small hole just before the butterfly). May want to plug that with a cloth before you start cleaning.

It could be that something in the pedal is bent/broken. More than likely the cable is binding. I'd replace the cable if nothing else is visibly causing the problem.
