Delayed Throttle

Hi guys!

My N Reg Fiesta Frascati has started having a problem. Its got low mileage, about 38k.

After about 15-20mins of driving, the throttle develops a delay. The power comes all at once in a in a bump a second or two after pressing the throttle. I'm useless mechanically, but I'm guessing its a sticking valve or cable but I don't know, perhaps its to do with a sensor malfunctioning? Whatever it is, its not happening until the engine is warm - the engine runs smoothly when cold and always starts first time.

If anyone has heard of this problem and can give me some advice it would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Harry
