i have a 2000 explorer xlt the problem is that there is very little pedal. theres maybe 1-2 inch of pedal before its floored. My question is is there any adjustment at all to bring it out some?

Replace the throttle cable. It got stretched. I have seen this happen before.

well so far no luck finding cable locally (everyone says dealer only item). Does anyone know the size of the cable (length) found some on the net but need length.

The Dealer will get you the correct part with your VIN#

Has it been tuned up lately? Is the Check Engine light still on? What codes do you have?
