It is a common problem with FC throttle bodies.
It only happens when it is damp and between 0 degrees and 3 degrees C. I think it is the difference between the expansion of the 2 different types of metal in the TB (Aluminum body and brass butterfly) at these temperatures and humidity.
The pedal feels sticky when the pedal is first depressed, then fine after the throttle is open, but sticks again when you off the gas. Almost as if the butterfly gets fat when it is horizontal.
It plays havoc when you are trying to make smooth shifts.
