The symptoms you describe above sound like a TCS fault has kicked you into limp-home mode, IE electronic throttle disengages and a cable takes over, with much harder pedal effort. Things to check for TCS failures:
TCS connection at gas pedal - remove, clean with electrical contact cleaner, apply DC-4 compound, re-connect.
Wheel sensors/connections - same cleaning procedure
If this doesn't solve it, TCS faults are often caused by the TCS safety valve failing. This is the valve on the passanger-side of the engine compartment, attached to the false firewall, with one tube open to the atmosphere. Remove the connection, clean as described above, and replace. If this doesn't solve it, remove and try applying voltage across the valve terminals to see if it clicks. If not, the valve may be bad. It can be had for $80 online, some have said they found it cheaper. Use the site sponsers and search.
This is just what I've learned from reading the many recent BB discussions. Search the BB for "TCS" to read more.
