Nancy, 

You can try lubing the points on the firewall where the
linkage operates, sometimes causes a tough pedal, as well as
hte linkages themselves. Also, if anyone has move the
throttle plate adjustment screw, to below minimun tolerance,
the butterfly in the throttle body can stick in the hole and
make it tough get off idle.

Most of the time I find this to be a need for a thin grease
type lube on the pivot points of the linkage.
