Default Something wrong with gas pedal...

I was driving in third gear pretty hard, and it felt like the gas pedal slipped out from under my foot. The pedal is still attached, but its got a lot of play in it before you can feel the throttle response.
Sorry if this doesnt make since but Im not sure how else to explain it.

Take a look at your throttle cable where it bolts to the intake manifold and the throttle body and you might also inspect the TB itself and the gas pedal...

If nothing mechanical is out of place, you may have a problem with the TPS or a number of other things that would cause bogging...

Same thing happened to me a while back...

Get under your steering wheel with a flashlight... Now look for a rubber sort of spacer. It will be sliced, its a bumper that goes over the cable down there. I didnt get a new one, I just zip tied it over the cable, and done. Im almost sure that this is what is happening.

Same thing happened to me, I felt the pedal sort of fall out from under my foot, and right after there was a lot of play at the top.
