Gas pedal stuck?? 88 Chevy Corsica?

My gas pedal has become increasingly difficult to press, to the point where I have to mash it down to get moving from a stop. While it's not as bad when it runs for awhile, I look like I'm trying to race at the light when I'm not. What's wrong with it and a ballpark range to get it fixed??

    Just disconnect the cable from the throttle body, hang it up & oil it. With motor oil, not wd-40. Or you can replace the cable, I'd guess about $18 at a discount parts store.
