Check your tune,and check to see of your throttle body shaft seals are leaking mine did this when they were bad...If this all check out fine buy a new throttle cable from the dealer .

From: somewhere testing various tires, brakes, and suspensions.
Check for carbon build up on the butterfly. Take TB off. Remove sensors. Clean with brake cleaner.

Are you sure it's really hardware related and it is actually hanging?

Keep in mind Evo's have issues with throttle hang, just search and you'll see. There are alot of people trying to cure the tune side of it who all of a sudden develop it.
