I noticed the same thing, is yours a 4 speed?
I'm thinking it's because of the gearing.
Used a 1/4 socket with a philips bit in it, easy compared to doing it with a screwdriver while its still attached to the car.
I'm starting to think that this the reason why my 2nd gear is not smooth. It's a "drive by wire" so there is a lag between the time it takes for the gas to kick in vs. clutch release. Even though it's only a little bit of "play", it looks like its affecting it. I'll do it this weekend and let you guys know how it goes...

i try and it's work ! just be carefully to don't ajust to mutch because they raise the rpm
No it doesnt Your idle is controlled by the computer and the throttle positioning sensor (TPS) The computer may have to still account for the position or it could be cold still. All your moving is the dead spot.

You did this while it was running? I'll say it again, this is only a dead play fix... there is other things that control RPM and i'm sure this is not one of them.

i'm more than comfortable with this kind of thing. I've had my fair share of modded cars in my lifetime.
If you move the unit enough, it will raise the RPM.
I took your advice Enviros and removed the pedal assembly from my car. At first I could not move the cover after loosening the screws again...but...I noticed in your picture that you removed the "fifth" top-most screw and sure enough, there's lots of play. I think that fifth screw is a "securing screw" to insure the cover doesn't move after initial cover adjustment. I have moved my cover 3/16" towards the front...now we'll see what the difference is.
Thanks for discovering, posting, and pictures!

Just got back from a test drive: MUCH better throttle response (I have 5 speed auto too).
Note to people that adjust your accelerator cover to full forward (Enviros' Step 7 Pic7: Shows the module moved with no dead spot)...your engine will rev higher at idle/initial start up...it will return to normal idle speed after letting it idle for a minute and a short drive.
I wonder, however, if the computer will relearn this and "tune" down the engine? Time will tell...
