So i’ve been having this issue where whenever I do a little pull the throttle gets stuck all the way to the ground. and when it does I put it in neutral and let it coast and it comes back it’s kinda scary but it can drive like normal it’s only when I do pulls. Any suggestions?
 
This should be diagnosed when it's happening. Not too many things that can cause this. Do you still have cruise control cables?

Throttle body - gummed up, plate isn't seated correctly, overtightened throttle shaft, return spring issue.
Throttle cable - cable routing, binding inside, possibly twisted.
Pedal sticking to floor mat.
