need some help from some of you. My car seems to accelerate better with
the throttle about 2 or 3 mm from the floor. I might just be loosing my mind but can some of you please try this out for me. If any of you have any ideas of why this is happening please let me know. Like i said i might just be going insane....
thanks

Its an electronic system - calibratin could do that.
Its not a wire to a butterfly (at least I dont think so), so what you could be sensing is a potentiometer with a dead zone at the end - not unlikely.

May have something to do with timing retardation at WOT.
Maybe the most power is made at partial air/fuel but more advanced ignition. At WOT some other turbo cars (XR4Ti and Eclipse) spray extra fuel to keep the cylinders cooler. The extra fuel actually causes a less efficient combustion providing less power.
Don't you have a chip? They could potentially have made the engine more agressive at WOT but it would reduce longevity I guess.

After reading manual, it seems unlikely
There are two potentiometers, completely independant, that measure accelerator pedal position. As you step on pedal, one pot increases resistance, while the other decreases resistance. The computer monitors both, and if there is an inconsistancy, it stores a DTC and lights the EPC (electronic power control) warning light on the instrument cluster.
