Why is my gas pedal hard?
The “stiff” gas pedal issue is most likely caused by a dirty throttle body in the air intake system. Cleaning the throttle body should relieve this symptom. The lack of “Drive” selection, unless first selecting “Reverse”, could be a loose or misadjusted shift cable or shift linkage issue.
Why does my accelerator feel heavy?
A dirty or clogged air filter can absolutely cause the car to hesitate or demonstrate a lack of power at acceleration. The air filter is your engine’s link to fresh air and when it is not properly flowing, this can cause major performance issues on any car.

Is the 2uz the same as the 1JZ?
It’s not a super common build, for the simple fact that you could build your engine with a supercharger or turbo for the same amount and make more horsepower. Just like the 1UZ, and other great Toyota engines (1jz, 2jz, etc.), the 2UZ has a ridiculously strong block.
How much horsepower can a 2uzfe engine make?
Building the bottom end with lower compression ratio pistons, the 2UZFE can make 440+ horsepower @ 10psi. A common, and interesting build is using the 2UZFE bottom end, and block, with all 1UZFE components.
Why does my car hesitate when I step on the accelerator?

This is what it means when the car engine hesitates. It is usually the result of a problem with the air and fuel mixture within the combustion chamber.
What kind of car is the 2uz Fe?
The 1UZ was designed for luxury sports cars and sedans, so while it is fairly torquey, it makes its best power high in the rev range. The 2UZ was designed for pickups and SUVs, so it produced much more torque down low. Things like a new intake manifold help the 2UZ achieve this.
