Something a little grease might cure if you find the right spot to apply it.

It's Throttle-By-Wire, so there's no cable causing it. You should be able to access all the moving parts.

I had the same problem this morning on my 05. There is a spring up under there that needs some WD40 or grease. You need a flashlight. It is up there. One squirt of WD40 and mine was cured.

There are 2 springs, one up high at the end of the throttle arm (next to the steering column) and a 2nd small one under the pedal. You can see both in the pics from this thread, the 1st, 3rd and 5th pics:
