Default throttle body sticking on Camry 2000

Hi everyone
I find that lately my gas pedal "sticks" a little bit when beginning to
press slightly on it to move from idle. My diagnosis after some
investigation is that the throttle body is sticking, not much but enough so
I feel it. It is a bit annoying but otherwise the car functions nicely. I
looked at all the linkage and found no problem. This "sticking" is rather
felt while the engine is on and idling. The pedal works freely when the
engine is off. My questions concern a) is my diagnosis correct, b) is the
cleaning of the throttle body difficult. The car is a Camry 2000 CE 4
cylinders. Anyone with previous experience on the subject? Your comments
would be really appreciated.
Jean-Guy

Well. Thanks for such good advice, JerryR. Problem solved.
I went to NAPA Auto Parts and got a can of "Air Intake Kleen" from Kleen-Flo
and sprayed according to instructions on the can.
All back to normal now. Thanks again
