ANSWER: Mathies,

You need to disconenct the throttle cable from the engine and check for actuation.  Sounds like the cable has a rough spot and eventually, it is going to break.  You might get away with lubrication but probably you will need a new cable.

QUESTION: i lubricate the cable, then the problem was less but came again. so i changed the whole throttle cable. still the problem is there. But i didn't lubricate the new cable. Will it be OK if lubricate it?

Answer
Mathies,

If you replaced the cable and you still have a hard spot lubricate the new cable.  Also, check for proper actuation of the throttle plate and the pedal assembly.  I had a Corvette that I worked on that the throttle feed (pedal) actually break where the pivot point was.  So, you should check and lubricate that too.
