Re: help! why the pedal is hard?
Jumpy idle **may** be a vacuum leak. Check the vacuum lines for cracks, tears, broken connectors.
As far as gas pedal being " hard " to press, look for binding // kinks, incorrect line up of the throttle cable, something under the pedal itself like bunched up carpet, or a broken // incorrectly mounted pedal bracket.
( edit )
What is the intake system--
TBI, TPI, Carb?
