What has me confused is the "drive by wire". I understand how the term can be misunderstood since a cable is a wire, but there are mechanical linked throttles and electronic throttles. A stock 986 from 1997 - 1999 should be mechanical with a cable. 2000 and later have an electronic throttle which is "drive by wire" or "eGas" - it sends an electronic signal from the pedal to the engine control computer (DME) which adjusts the fuel electronically at the throttle body.
The return spring for a cable throttle gas pedal is on the throttle body (engine).
The return spring for a electronic gas pedal is connected to the pedal (under the dash).
Is the car modified? Which one does it have?
