Re: Gas pedal not working well

flywheel/clutch and your gas pedal are nothing related. if you have a civic ex there are 2 spots for the throttle cable to mount on, maybe you mounted it on the wrong one? or maybe your jsut trippin lol. in addition to that maybe you should tighten up your throttle cable.

Try cleaning your throttle plate. It probally has residue from normal driving causing it to stick. Its a common issue for honda throttle bodies.
