Also, I am getting very annoyed with low speed/rpm driving. There is 0 slack in the pedal. Lightest pedal reading is 5%. and I had to press very slowly to get that. I get this jerky action when light on and off at slow speeds/rpm (between 900 and 2500 rpm)


Dying or standard for the mitsu?

You can adjust the slack on the throttle cable by loosening off the 2 bolts on the back of the intake manifold and sliding that plate left and right. Personally, I like mine snug, but not too tight. If there is absolutely no slack, as the car heats up, the throttle will actually open a bit causing an idle surge. (Don't ask me why, I haven't been able to figure it out... you'd think the cable would stretch when it's hot, not condense.... Then again, it might be something in the pulley assembly for the cruise control.)
