This is gonna sound weird, but I have play in my gas pedal. You know how you can have play in your steering wheel, well mine is in my gas pedal. Does anyone else experience this and if so, what can I do to get rid of it. You wouldn't think its that big a deal, but man it can be a pain in the ass sometimes. Thanks

You need to tighten you throttle cable where it connects to the throttlebody. It is simple to do and it takes about two minutes.

Go here http://www.geocities.com/n_dahi/ and click on throttle cable and there is a right up on how to adjust it. It is very easy to adjust.

Wow 4 years back, at least you searched. Just in case you don't know that is your cruise control cable, the one below it is the one that goes to your gas pedal. The blue arrow is the adjusting nut and the green one is the locking nut.

ok, ive pretty much adjusted the throttle cable as tight as it can go. the pedal feels better, but theres still just a little bit of play left. does that mean i gotta adjust the actual pedal now? anywhere i can find help on this? i dont want it to get stiffer in the process, i like it the way it is, just want that last small bit of freeplay to go away
