i have never used a spring on any of mine. i wonder of the throttle pedal is the sticky spot ? i have had that happen and acted like it needed a return spring. just got sand in the pedal pivot and the end of the throttle cable in the front. cleaned them out and lubed them. i bought my throttle cables through enemy, pm him on that one.
what does it do if you take the spring off? if it tries to stick pull back on the throttle pedal with your foot, if that works it the pivot point on the pedal. most of them don't use a bushing or bearing and the steel starts to wear and flake off then jam. i don't know which set you have so don't know for sure but lance would. i swapped out to wilwood pedals because they or my set have a brass bushing in them. i know your original post says you lubed the pedal and i am not doubting that but when i had to do my old ones i had to take them off there shaft and clean the inside of the pivot and the shaft it pivots on. i sprayed them with chain lube at that time.
It worked for many many years like this. Lot's of coils (the secret to it not taking a permanent stretch) and very short loops where it attaches. Sorry for the crappy picture it's all I had at home.Another thing you have to be extremely careful about is how and where the bends are made and the larger the bend the better. Pay extra attention to the ones under the hood and by your right foot.Gottcha lance, I got a spring I think you would approve of, but I have to cut one end off it way to long. Has very small loops on the end very tightly wound and alot of coils. The cable is just .06 (lotsa strands) stainless cable. The sheath came from a lawnmower shop but a mig gun liner will actually work better.
I'm with DS. I never use a return spring as the throttle bodies springs are more than enough. If not ,the issue is with the cable itself. Be careful with any lube that leaves a residue as it will collect dust and silt causing problems. Dry lubes only in the sand,IMO.
