On my 98 sentra GXE 5 spd I have a stop behind the gas pedal held on by a screw. What does that do, why is it there?

I just got my car a week ago...

thanks for any help.

I just went out and looked at mind. I don't see a stop anywhere. Maybe it's to keep you from putting the pedal through the floor?

stop..........l dunno what that is, i have no stop on mine. i got a 97 200SX though.

Well its a black piece of plastic behind the pedal, held by 1 visible screw. it has a flat surface and the gas pedal hits that instead of the floor. i have no idea what it is...

i have a 99 sentra and don't see any black stop...maybe other owner placed it there...for what reason?

know what you're talking about; I don't have one on my 97 200SX but my friend's 92 Sentra has it. Might have something to do with too much pedal play....just a guess.

i think i need one... i don't want my pedal going through the floor!!!!!!

i just wanted to know if it was there for a REASON, or someone put it on there to keep their kid from accelerating too fast or what. i was wondering if its keeping my car from being able to open all the way up...

I have that damn thing to. Dunno what its for. It came with the car.

i have one also, and im guessing that its just there to keep the pedal from hitting the floor at WOT.

grasshoppers.......

the pedal is a limiter to the throttle body, some cars have it some don't, also another safety item, DOT-wise, if you just remove it, without checking throttle plate movement, WOT will not be WOT and you risk messing up the shaft and TPS........hope this is enlightening.....

thanks for the info azkicker, i was wondering as well what the hell that thing was. good thing i didnt remove it like my friends were all tlling me to!what if i do check the plate though? would wot be changed any?

If want to check it, thats easy.
Remove the intake tube from the throttle body.
Have a buddy get in your car and put teh pedal all the way down.
Look at the butterfly in the throttle body, If it is straight in side the body then you are achiving WOT and removing the stop wont help at all.
