Compressibility of carpet and materials under the carpet seems to be the culprit. Maybe it is just my Civic.
Two questions for any of you who have tried this method: (1) did you use your TPS readings to confirm that the stopper is reliably stopping the throttle in the same position each time and (2) if you did how did you make your throttle stopper?
Thx!

1) No reason to for me with the energy display.
2) I use a series of large washers stacked under my pedal taped against a solid part of the pedal box underneath.
But what I think you may be able to do is to mount a bolt or something that contacts the metal below your carpet to provide a solid stop. Possibly something like a button head bolt drilled through the throttle pedal. Not sure how practical that would be, but throwing ideas out there . .
