Well here go fella's;
i have a 90 gt with a five speed i have this problem... it seem's that when i try to accelerate the gas pedal it's hard to push down sometimes it feel's like someone is holding it from going down i know this sound funny but it's true i checked the throttle cable in the engine bay to see if it was crimp or routed bad that's not the case. can it be a throttle sensor or something telling it not to respond for it not to accelerate i don't know what too do i hate to keep revving the engine to make it go espacially with a off-road h-pipe cop's love to hear that right fella's lol... any help would be appreciated thank's ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

if it doesn't stick with the engine off and you have an aftermarket throttle body, you probably just need to drill a tiny hole in the throttle body blade.
my 65mm edelbrock t/b did that when I put it on, it stuck at idle, it was basically a vacuum seal, drilling a tiny hole in the blade face broke that seal and it feels like the stock t/b did.

sometimes the cable is stretched and there is too much slack in the cable. this was the case on my 94. i ended up putting spacers on the cable end that connects to the gas pedal.

I have the same problem in my 96 Explorer. The gas pedal just doesn't seem like it wants to move, i have to really push hard to get it to go. I think it could be the gas pedal/throttle cable itself and the fact i have big feet.

mine did that, I put about 3 or 4 zipties on the throttle cable at the gas pedal itself and the problem went away, kinda like putting washers on a bolt to take up the slack.

yeah i looked at it closer today and the cable is either too long or stretched out, how did you zip tie the gas pedal? i might do that.

just on the cable where it goes through the gas pedal, so the end of the cable is tight against the pedal

i used the shell of a ball point pen and cut about an inch and slit it down the middle. slipped it on the cable and then used zip ties to hold in place. the length really depends on how stretched ur cable is and how much slack you're trying to make up
