Weird gas pedal travel distance.

The gas pedal in a 88 325is feels a bit short. it only travels a couple of inces if not a couple of centemiters. is this normal?? if its not does anyone know the problem?? thanks.

my expert diagnosis on such problem is surely got to be indirectly if not directly related to the gas pedal mechanism in your automobile

thats definetly not normal...my 89 325 goes right to floor, when i want it to.

make sure theres just not crap behind the peddle preventing it from moving

no it goes to the floor but i think it doesnt come back enough. any ideas with that.

well is the engine still revving when you take your foor off the pedal? if not then i guess thats how far its supposed to travel

Maybe your accelerator cable needs to be adjusted, there is a post somewhere on here about adjusting i can't be bothered repeating it
