GAS PEDAL SPRING TOO WEAK

[Al_]

It is an issue with DBW as said before but not a big one, the lag on mine is something like 1/4 of a second and the easiest way around it is to wait until your foot is off the accelerator until pressing the clutch.
If you are a slow shifter then you won't even notice it it's that small, even I only notice it when shifting it's small enough that when going from coasting to accelerating I don't notice any lag.

The light pedal is just something you will get used to as you drive more, you could try wearing shoes with thinner soles.

the Genesis Coupe is plagued by rev-hang.. the reason it's noticeable is because the car actually has power :) a reflash solved this problem on the genny and also gave us an extra 60lbft of torque.. can't touch that with ANY throttle-control mod for the yaris :(

I'm the original poster. I also considered adding another spring, an external one. But looking under there I didn't think it would attach well enough to justify fooling around with it for seveal hours. I also thought about buying another Yaris spring and pulling it's ends to make it stretch a little and provide more resistance, but Toyota parts told me they don't sell just the spring, you have to buy the whole pedal assembly. I do find I've gotten used to it and rarely stall it anymore, and the engine noise is so loud I really can tell If my revs are high enough as I let the clutch out not to stall. i still don't like it though.

Just stick a sponge or a stress ball underneath the accelerator. Works for me.
