on the mrs's car, the throttle pedles stiff as hell...
the pedal itself is free - if i take the cable off..
the cable is free - if its disconnected both ends.
the throttle butterfly seems free???

well, the cable seems to slide fine when i disconnect it from the TB and the pedal.

i know the 12v's and 16v's are always a bit stiffer, but i cant see why.
