    I got some serious wicked leg pain from this drive:cry: The accellarator was so hard to push down that it bruised my instep enough to cause me serious pain to walk on that foot. Ok, I also have a broken toe on that foot, but that's not the problem:eek: Is there a way to make the pedal easier to depress:D, not in a hot rod way guys:rolleyes: in a more comfortable adjustment way.

    try a weaker throttle return spring. just make sure it has enough tension to pull the butterfly on the throttle body closed. and lube all the pivot points.

    Also clean the throttle body with some wd-40 and lube any spots that need it so it doesnt get caught up. My peddle is a little stiff but not enough to be painful. at least you dont have an ingrown toe nail:doah: now those suck

    Trade you my broken toe on my gas pedal foot for your ingrown toenail any day:waytogo: It still hurts like the dickens from the trip:eek:

    I have the FI V6 I'm going to have to grab the Hannes to look up the TB area to douse with WD40. Wished I read this BEFORE I left MN!
