No one likes sticky cams! I recently had a cam seize up on me, so I called metolius for advice and this is what they said:
Apply hot, soapy water and scrub between the lobes thouroughly with a toothbrush. Rinse REALLY well (get all the soap out), and then dry it REALLY well (it's ok to use a blow dryer). If whatever was blocking it up seems to be removed, then add a drop or two of cam lube or equivalent, and you should be good (that is, it worked for me).
A good cleaning (toothbrush, hot soapy water), heavy rinse in very hot water. Then some elmer's slide-all and tweak the trigger wires with a pair of pliers.

I use (sparingly) a nice teflon based lubricant spray meant for bicycle cables and bushings/chains. Wipe off any excess. Works great on sticky biner gates too. I happen to use this one.
