Stuck accelerator
Hi guys, I have a 96 civic lx sedan, everything on it is stock.
The problem is that the accelerator does not go down smoothly. When you try and press it, it either goes down a little or if you push it hard enough it just goes down all the ways, kind of like in steps. I was wondering if there is anything I can do to get it so it moves smoothly? Thanks and let me know if you need any more information about the car.

Re: Stuck acclerator (desi01)
Did your throttle cable get moved around somehow? When I did my swap and re used my d-series throttle cable when it wasn't lined up perfectly it didn't go down smoothly, straightened it out and now it works like a charm. Idk if that's what it is, just an idea.

I don't know how to adjust it. I checked a Chiltons manual and it said make sure the throttle cable deflection is betwen 3/8" and 1/2". What is the deflection and how do I measure it?

Check the carbon on the butterfly in the throttle body, might need cleaning. also there is a recall on that year where the carpet is in the way and can cause the pedal to stick... You know this was just covered like 2 post away from yours as I posted this.
