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?

Oh sorry I have a stock 99 so it's cable throttle. I got it confused. So the return spring is on the throttle body is that easily fixed?
