Funny thing is that i tried to tighten mine as much as possible

but you can do some adjustments to make it a little softer. Just look for a thread called" APP sensor DIY" there is a wire that runs to from the gas pedal to the the APP Sensor which is located under the hood, pretty much in the left side top corner ( passenger side). Right where it gets attached to the APP sensor you have quite a bit of adjustment on how tight or lose you want that wire to be. I personally like it tight as it feels more responsive, or at least i can control the responsiveness better.

Also when i changed my app sensor, the new one had a much softer spring then my original one, the original one was so tight that it was actually very hard for me to maintain constant highway speeds, as i wouldnt feel it coming back . The new sensor feels much better.

Could you show me how to do this, BukvaMan? I tried searching but there wasn't any specific tutorials on how to tighten the gas pedal. My brother and I both have TLs and his pedal is much more tight and responsive as mine.

Here is the ling https://acurazine.com/forums/showthr...ght=app+sensor

post number #4 and picture #3, you can clearly see those two nuts and with them you can adjust the tension on the cable going back to the gas pedal. You dont have to take anything apart, the only thing you need to remove is the plastic cover over that sensor and maybe if you have the plastic that covers everything under the hood then also the portion in the corner obviously needs to be removed aswell. All that is located under the hood on the passenger side top corner. You can do it in 10 minutes really. Maybe 20 if you wanna look around a little bit
