Does everyone's 3.0 have a stiff gas pedal. I've read about a kick down cable adjustment? BTW...its an auto. I've greased the cable to make sure its not kinked and....nothing

 

Yea....i think everyones pedal is stiff.

My exs 92 4runner 22re
My friends 94 PU 3.0
My 4runner
My neighbors 4runner, 22re

lol, ive just gotten used to it. my right foot is stong.

 

mine is realy stiff when i first get in it... its like its stuck but then it isnt sticky after i step on the gas once

 

Both of my 3.0's had stiff gas pedals. My '84 22r had a soft pedal.

 

I messed my right knee up last summer wake boarding and my gas pedal is not helping. I took out one of the springs on the throttle body and that seemed to help some. Are the 3rd gens. the same?

 

Yeah dood.
When I got mine I seriously thought there was something wrong with the peddal, so I checked all my lines all the way to the throttle and it was all square so I threw some WD40 on there and it still didn't change. It almost feels like it has certain travel distances, as if it gets stiffer at different points.
But I guess it's just the way they're made.

 

my 2nd gen had a stiff pedal too but cleaning the throttle body seem to help some the 3rd gen is softer

 

throttle body cleaner.

 

lol I did the same thing.

 

I just put WD40 on my 22r's mechanism thingy. Pretty sure I got like 20hp out of it.

But seriously it helped ALOT.

 

Mines pretty stiff, my girlfriends 22re is soft as hell. Everytime you hit a bump you hit the gas...

 

mines really hard. at first it was kinda weird but over time i got used to it... i kinda like it actually, keeps me from goosing it over humps ^^^

 

Holy crap take that one outta context. lol

 

i put a huge spring on the throttle body on my 22re to stiffen it up for rock crawling. it helps alot for the bumps, and u can controll the throttle better on obstacles.

 

my 22re pedal is way soft. You let your foot relax and all the sudden your speeding

 

My pedal actually has about an inch of play before it gets stiff. Any tips how to get rid of that play?

 

if that inch is free play tighten it up at the throttle body..
