Well here go fella's;
i have a 90 gt with a five speed i have this problem... it seem's that when i try to accelerate the gas pedal it's hard to push down sometimes it feel's like someone is holding it from going down i know this sound funny but it's true i checked the throttle cable in the engine bay to see if it was crimp or routed bad that's not the case. can it be a throttle sensor or something telling it not to respond for it not to accelerate i don't know what too do i hate to keep revving the engine to make it go espacially with a off-road h-pipe cop's love to hear that right fella's lol... any help would be appreciated thank's ![[Confused]](confused.gif)

if it doesn't stick with the engine off and you have an aftermarket throttle body, you probably just need to drill a tiny hole in the throttle body blade.
my 65mm edelbrock t/b did that when I put it on, it stuck at idle, it was basically a vacuum seal, drilling a tiny hole in the blade face broke that seal and it feels like the stock t/b did.

sometimes the cable is stretched and there is too much slack in the cable. this was the case on my 94. i ended up putting spacers on the cable end that connects to the gas pedal.

I have the same problem in my 96 Explorer. The gas pedal just doesn't seem like it wants to move, i have to really push hard to get it to go. I think it could be the gas pedal/throttle cable itself and the fact i have big feet.
