I've noticed for a while that my gas pedal has been really loose. Like I could literally floor the pedal behind a car and not worry till boost kicks in. It shakes left and right and tapping it lightly gives no power so I'm sure this is taking away from my acceleration. Pretty much I was wondering how to tighten this peddle so that it's stiffer. Please give some detailed information if your going to help. Thanks alot.
 
It's a very very simple apparatus. Go to the throttle body and take a look. Problems should be obvious. It's very much like a bicycle brake cable or similar.
theres an obvious track that the cable should be in, which it is, but it has to wrap around it? That is what i am confused ab, bc my cable has a good 2-3 inches of play and my pedal is basically resting on the floor. i cannot find any examples online.

it's just a cable in a sheath. The bracke is adjustable. You remove the slack with the bracket.
You'll see the naked cable wrapped around the throttle body. Post pictures of what you're seeing. There isn't much to go wrong.
