As I've only just bought this car I don't know if this is normal for a BJ8 but when I press the accelerator nothing happens for the first 1 -2 inches. It's just a dead spot then the engine picks up smoothly as you'd expect. I've replaced the bush at the end of the pedal shaft and tried different positions for the lever arm on the end of the shaft. A mechanic friend of mine has adjusted the linkage as per the manual but nothing seems to alter the dead spot. Has anyone got any suggestions as to what I should try next. Thanks.
