Issue with Throttle sticking while driving

Hi everyone
I am new to the forum so any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I have a 1986 Mustang GT and I have been having an issue with my throttle sticking 15 minutes or so while driving. Tends to stick at 2K to 3K RPM. If I pull over and shut the call off and start again it will correct itself. Can anyone tell me what could be the issue? I could start off with replacing the throttle cable but to me it doesn't seem mechanical since I can correct it by shutting it off and starting it again. I could be wrong any help would be awesome.
Thanks

In the automatic transmission obsessed U.S. market, for some reason, people don't think of it. Stay calm, and go to neutral is a great first thing to try.
