BOUGHT MY USED 2000 CAMRY IN AUG, 2008. A FEW MONTHS LATER, GAS PEDAL STARTED STICKING WHEN I APPLY PRESSURE TO ACCELERATE AFTER MAKING A STOP. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I MAKE A STOP IN A GIVEN DAY. OTHER TIMES, WHEN I'M OUT AND ABOUT, IT DOES NOT STICK WHEN I ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO GIVE IT A LITTLE PUSH TO ACCELERATE FROM THE STOPPED POSITION. HAPPENS ABOUT 70% OF THE TIME. MAKES NO DIFFERENCE IF IT'S WINTER OR SUMMER. *TR
