Does anyone here have a super stiff gas pedal? I have tried looking for a problem with the throttle cable but I can't find anything. Has anyone had this problem before? If so, help me out:)

Your first step should be to remove the throttle cable from the TB and see if it is the cause, then check the TB for excessive drag. the TPS sensors have been known to fail internally and jam the TB movement.

TalonXracer; Thanks for the input but wouldn't I be getting a DTC if my throttle position sensor was failing intermittently? But I do plan on removing the cable from the pedal and checking the movement. It skipped my mind for some reason hahah.
