I'm not sure if this is normal but if not, why when i floor the gas pedal my throttle doesnt open all the way. looks to be about 3/4 or a little more open when i floor it with the gas pedal. but has the capabilities of going WOT when i move the linkage with my hand.

So any tips or info??

i assume you made sure the carpet isnt in the way? stock throttle body? you had someone push the accelerator all the way in while you still had more slack to push the blade manually?

Is there slack in the throttle cable before the pedal starts to open the butterfly?

as shortthrow said check to make sure your carpet or floor mats arent bunched up under the pedal

I just had a problem with my stang having the throttle stick open and at other times just not feeiling right. It turns out that the clip that is attached to the cruise control cable that is used to attach it to the throttle cable was becoming loose and hanging down. The problem is that at times the throttle would work fine and at other times the cruise control clip would sag down and rub the coolant tube running along the intake preventing it from opening all the way or worst case scenario stay wide open.
