So I've noticed when driving my car (95 integra), that there is a tiny bit of play in the gas pedal when I touch it with my foot as if to push down the gas.

Not super noticable, but if I'm cruising on the freeway and let go off the gas and push it in slowly the first little bit just feels kind of loose before the rpms go.

By the way its automatic not stick so my clutch isn't slipping or anything.
Is there like something I can tighten up or adjust to get rid of that? I want it more responsive when I tap it.

I also have my old 92 teg that i'm trying to sell and it is much more responsive when I tap the gas, probably because there isn't that little bit of "play" in the begining.

Thanks for any comments in advance.

you can adjust the cable in the engine bay.. look for it right at the intake. it's very easy to do. just take care not to adjust it so that it's holding the throttle open.

Thanks it worked!!!

ok so I tightened the throttle cable and now there is no play in the gas pedal!! I made sure to not tighten it to tight so that the rpms idle higher.

I drove it around the neighborhood and it felt like the car had more power. Probably cause I didn't have to push the pedal in so much to get it going.

I definitly recommend adjusting your throttle cable.

Since it was so easy, I did this for my other 92 integra that I'm tryin to sell and my girlfriends 93 teg.
