Other times it is caused by friction in the cable and related 
mechanism's. I have reduced this tendency by increasing the spring return 
pressure, although Diane is constantly complaining about the pressure it 
takes to press the accelerator against the garage door spring I use.

    Believe it or not the FC's are supposed to have 2 accelerator return 
springs! 
    The combination is a realtively light spring in the rear so you DON'T 
have a lot of cable friction and a reasonably heavy spring in the front to kind 
of push the cable back through the housing.
    I have noticed that most FC's have a  spot to put a spring, it is on the 
underside somewhere behind the bumper.
    So, Bob, Give Diane some relief! LOL.
