Throttle cable

[Blueberryyum02]

Just noticed that my gas pedal does not rest completely against the fire wall, meaning it has some play in it, is there any kind of way to adjust the cable to take up the slack. It's a 2002 ls v8

Seen a video on YouTube where a guy used zip ties to take up the extra slack from a stretched throttle cable, as to bring the part you rest your foot on upward towards the driver.

And i know some cars come equipped with a throttle cable adjust up near the throttle body. Do the ls have the same feature.

If it does what is the correct way to adjust it up near the throttle body.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, that is why it is there. Do carefully. Easy to do.

If possible can you post a how to, I haven't seen the correct procedure for the ls, and I don't want to mess things up if I have to go the zip tie route I think that would be easier for me but would rather adjust it at the cable adjust.

Do you mean you can lift it a little with your foot? That is normal. Every Ford I have owned (with an actual cable) does that.

Yes that's what I mean

That's normal behavior.
