gas pedal real heavy? normal?

the gas pedal is real heavy to push you almost have to floor it to get it going. it's 96 dx automatic, tried putting wd-40 but nothing. is this normal or is something wrong?

You may have to adjust the cable or replace it, my 97 throttle cable frayed apart and eventually broke

I had that problem once i took the TB off and clean the poop out of it and sprayed a little tiny bit of silicone lube spray into the actual cable. It worked perfect and also ran a little smoother.
