Default stiff gas pedal...

the gas pedal on my car seems to be kind stiff, its sort of hard to push at first and then once it goes, it goes lots :yesnod:, any suggestions on what could cause this or how to fix it?

Sounds like something is binding and once you put on enough pressure to unbind, of course you are really putting your foot into it. Is something bent or rubbing?

Mine was that way after I had done some work on the injectors. I found that the throttle cable was not properly seated at the throttle body. Just a stupid mistake on my part. :lol: You might check it.
