Default Gas pedal seems tighter after the car warms up

I've really never noticed it until now. I just went out for a little cruise and it seemed like after my car was completely warmed up that the gas pedal seemed like it was harder to press down and it took alot more pressure for the rpms to climb. I thought it was alittle strange, anybody have any idea why it does that?

built up crap in the throttle body...like around the butter fly..or on the part that the throttle cable is connected too...that would be my best bet..so start their first...maybe try some WD-40 on it and see what happens..then check out the inside...but like i said, i dont really see that being full of dirt..because all of your air is filtered...at least it should be. lol

Yeah, I think I know what the problem is though. Because I have a throttle spacer in my car and I had to ghetto rig everything so it works right. That's what I think is causing all the problems.

check your throttle spacer... also check it inside for dirty trash on the inside... and also the sensor...
