This won't answer your question but it may help if your TP is suffering from "Idle Speed Hang-Up"....

.... essentially, it identifies all the reasons why this occurs on a TP and how to address them.

I guess the price says they dont really want the work.

Classic "Idle Speed Hang-up" symptoms.

but someone has put a sring in the middle of the throtle and the pedal is veryhard to push

That extra spring load is bad for the rear shaft and may well have caused distortion and added to the friction issues.

If you have not already attempted to clean up and re-adjust the TP mechanism you will be appalled at the crud that gets in there and affects smooth operation.

Read the Plenum Essay in the Efi Archive for more info, and if you decide to proceed make sure you clean out all the galleries too.
