Default Gas pedal

This is my first vette but the gas pedal is harder to press than my other vehicles is there any way to loosen that up? Thanks

Hmm, perhaps something wrong with yours. Try one at a dealer showroom or a friends and compare. Mine is fine. It's not moving anything but an electrical signal sender. Only signals go to the ECM!

If yours is stiffer easy enough for the dealer to replace, one bolt and an electrical connection.

Make sure there is nothing wedged behind it.

That is an odd thing Rodney. I agree with TNSQUIRE, stop by the dealer and check another one out.

I have a bunch of other cars and never found the vette throttle hard to push. It seems like it is the opposite.
