pedal sticks.

Does anyone know why the gas pedal would stick when you floor it all the way in a 90 mtx?

Only you can determine why your pedal is sticking. Do some examination to find the cause. Rotate the throttle shaft with your hand to see if the throttle itself is sticking. Check the cable for resistence. With the cable disconnected at the throttle shaft, check the gas pedal for free motion. Another possibility is that the pedal catches on the floor mat. You'll have to find out why the pedal/cable/throttle is sticking with your own eyes and hands, but these are a few ways to find out what the problem is. And that IS a problem.

just replace the accelator cable and you will solve the problem, you are not the first with the problem, this is normal in all cars.

I wouldn't call that a common problem, and replacing the cable isn't definitely the solution.

Scott's advice is good - do some investigative work. It would be the cruise cable binding, the accel. cable binding, a spring problem or a stuck throttle shaft.

All right. I looked at it a little bit but I didn't have time to look very thoroughly. Just thought I would see if anyone else had the problem before I spent a lot of time on it. Thanks guys!
