    Throttle pedal

    Everytime I push the throttle pedal to put the car on moving, it gets stuck and I have to push it strongly to accelerate. Anyone knows why this happens and how can I fix it???

    Follow the throttle cable out of the firewall. It goes to a black box mounted on the other side of the firewall. Thats the cruise control cable box. It is most likely rusted on the inside. If thats not the case then the throttle body is somehow stuck

    Cables don't last forever. I did cruise delete, got rid of all that garbage and just replaced it with a single cable directly to the throttlebody. Got it new from Carquest for about $15.

    7g Dirt Racer- 95 Galant- 4g64,5speed swap, external coil, dohc swap, 60mm t.b., b.s., a.c., p.s. delete, battery relocate.
    7g Street- 94 Galant GS- 2.0 4g63t, awd conversion, auto swap, 98 gsx ecu, fmic, maft, bs delete.

    So, you mean that, if I delete the cruise control, I must to change necessarily the cable?
