gas pedal resistance

Hey guys, is there any way to loosen the resistance of the gas pedal. Mine is kinda on the harder side when you go to step on the gas, is there any way to make the gas pedal less stiff? If that makes sense

Lubricate the pivot pins? Other than that.. I can only guess that since the throttle is cable operated you cannot adjust the resistance...

Check your throttle body and see how tight that is
