The initial press of the gas pedal on my car is real stiff. Its almost like the pedal is glued to something and i have to break the bond on it. Makes not riding the clutch harder because once i do brake this bond, the amount of force needed to press the gas pedal makes my rpms go above 1500 rpms.

would a new throttle cable fix the problem? ive lubed some of the pivot areas under the dash but it doesnt seem to do anything.

car is a 2001 acura integra LS

 

I think it could be due to ''too much torque''

I kidd, i kidd..

No seriously though pop the hood.. and follow the throttle cable and check it out..

If you've lube'd under the dash try lubing the actual throttle cable under the hood.

i lubed that area also. something i notice is that when the car is off, it doesnt do this, only when it is on,

 

anyone else experience this?
