Default Gas pedal is driving me nuts! Anyone with a CD-ROM manual?

Is there a way to make the tension on it less or make it more sensitive? I have to press it 1/2 way down to keep it at speed. I want to half the pressure required to make the car go. Either press 1/2 as far or 50% lighter to push.

Default Unfortunately not - these cars have an electronic throttle, so the gas pedal simply has a (more)

sensor at the top to detect the pedal position. There's no way to adjust it's range/sensitivity (other than a throttle body adaptation, which checks the range of the throttle itself, not the pedal).

Default If you feel it is "not right" your dealer can check if the pedal is having a problem, but (more)

the car can detect if the sensor is failing, so I'm not sure what could be wrong with it (it's redundant, and so it can tell if the two readings don't match and go into a limp mode).
