My 94 went the minute you tapped the pedal :lol: .

yes my corolla has a very sensitive throttle. push it down a millimeter and it will rev up haha. the day i learned stick pressed it down and revved it to 6k haha

i wish i could adjust my maxima's pedal to be that way because it has a bit of slack at the beginning that makes it feel sloppy

If it's cable throttle you should be able to adjust it at home, and if it's DBW then a tune should be able to do the job.

I was thinking of doing that myself, but if I mess it up, the idle is gonna get messed up :lol: . I would like a more responsive pedal though.

If you mess it up it should be just as easy to put back.

Yeah. More than likely. I just figure, I've been driving the car like it is without a problem, so I really see no need to do it.
