Gas pedal sticking on 2000 Civic Si. Need help plz
I attatched a picture for visual aid.
My gas pedal in my Civic Si seems to have a bit of "slack/stiffness/stickyness" prior to stepping on it. I have to press the pedal in with a little bit of force, but not too great of force. Here is the image:
The first shows the pedal prior to being pressed, the 2nd is when it does get pressed. There is that slack right between the pedal not pressed to how much I have to apply a little bit of force until the pedal becomes smooth again. I have checked the spring in the engine and it doesn't seem the problem comes from there. I WD40ed the inside of the pedal to see if that's the problem. Can anyone help me out with this problem with the slack? Thanks.!

aftermarket pedals with backing plates or anything that can grab the carpet?
holes in carpeting?
anything stuck on the back of the pedal?

Readjust your throttle cable - they have a tendency to be rather loose from the factory. There is information pretaining to your situation on http://www.clubsi.com/ - just do a general search.

So lilblacksol What method did he use to clear it up? The lubing of the cable? Or any other method.
