is it stiff at the engine or just on the pedal? If its the pedal try spraying wd40 on the mount to free it, it could be the throttle itself needs a clean and freeing off or the cable could be jamming up maybe its frayed etc and needs replacing

Hi, iv had loads of corsa's + tigras that have stiff pedal. i think only 1 or 2 had a 'loose' pedal.
