Well that's something. Two facts you might find interesting:
1) E-gas still has a cable. It goes from the pedal to the pedal position sensor.
2) If the throttle plate was sticking, you would not feel it at the pedal. When you move the pedal, you are simply actuating a potentiometer which reads the position, then that information is passed to a servo (a geared electric motor) which actuates the throttle plate.
So, unfortunately, your cleaning of the throttle body could not possibly have had any effect on your sticky pedal.
Mine sticks too, but only on hotter days. Perhaps your car was cooler the second time you tested it. On my car, it's actually the pedal position sensor that sticks, which is a sealed unit with the pedal return spring inside. At first I thought perhaps the cable was the culprit, but when I reach up under the dash and actuate the sensor with my hand, I can feel that it is actually the sensor unit itself that's a bit sticky.
Cheers.
