Problems With Accelerator Pedal

[SmItZ]

Hoping someone can shed some light on my problem before I take it to a workshop.

Was driving today and car felt a little different as per usual. Finally stopped at the lights and realized I have quite a bit of play in the accelerator pedal before anything happens. E.g. In neutral, press the accelerator pedal and it has quite a bit of play before it appears to engage and then rev up. Usually, you tap the pedal and the revs will start coming up, now you have to engage almost half way before the revs come up. Any suggestions or ideas of what it could be? Thanks.

Be easier to just have a look under the bonnet at your accelerator cable and how its running.... And get under your pedal bracket and have a look there....

Definitely the cable. I doubt its the pedal unless the pedal lost a bolt somewhere and the cable has slackened off.
