a question on gas pedal cable:

is there any way to 'overextend' anything by allowing the cable to pull
beyond a certain point? If I 'adjust' the accelerator pedal height and
bring it out further, I am allowing more travel distance to the floor -
does the cable have a stop at a certain point?

I remember a friend who had a floor mat that kept creeping up over the
little rubber stop for the accelerator pedal - it would really cut
back on the throttle due to the inability to travel the full distance.
