How do I adjust the gas peddle only goes down 3 inches...

[91tsitalon55]

Everytime I go push on the throttle it only goes down about 3 inches to floor it. Considering I have to almost always floor it to just get it going at first .

Thanks for looking,

There's so much wrong with your post.

What is your question?

If you think your accelerator pedal isn't traveling as far as it should, stick your face down there and see if it goes to the floor.

Maybe your floor mat is in the way..

like absit said, have you looked under there?

Make sure something isn't jammed under the pedal if there isn't check the throttle body and the linkage!

Cut a hole in the floor. Opens the throttle farther. Its an old pro racing trick

Then adjust your throttle cable tension.

I agree with absit your throttle cable is adjusted incorrectly. take your tb elbow off and make sure the butterfly is closed when the pedal is up fully. take slack out of the cable making sure that the butterfly stays closed when the pedal is up. Have someone else push the pedal down to the floor after this and make sure the butterfly opens fully.
