Always check your throttle for full opening

I don't remember any issues last year, but right away this year when I was driving my car I felt a hitch in the throttle pedal/cable operation. There was a definate spot where the pedal would go to then stop, and if I pressed harder it would keep going, but then get stuck on the return. Knowing I had some cable issues last year, I was thinking maybe something was kinked and it was time for a new one. I took a couple minutes to day to look into it and found this:

 

The cable end was just hitting the end of the fuel rail. Luckily, there was just enough play to loosen the throttle body and shift it away enough to let the cable pass smoothly.
