Hey guys,

So ive had my 98 runner for about a year and a half, and the entire time, Ive had this stupid gas pedal situation. Its not really a problem, but ive had enough of it. When I push down the pedal, i get about 2 inches of slack until I actually feel it engage. its like i push it down the 2 inches of nothing, then i get power once my foot is allready way the heck down. what can i do?

 

Adjust the freeplay in the cable where the cable is bolted to the motor. Its easy stuff

 

Not sure about the throttle cable on a 98, but on my 89 P/U it had a rubber cushion on the throttle cable where it hooked into the gas pedal. When that split I had lots of play on the cable.

 

thats what i figured...

 

the gas pedal on my 97 is really stiff compared to my 91 kinda bugs me i will have to play with the cable see if i can give it a little slack
