How low does the accelerator pedal sit compared to your brake and clutch? On my 97GT the brake and clutch are basically level, but the gas pedal sits lower (closer to the floor). Is that normal? I feel like it wasn’t this low before but since having the accelerator cable replaced, I feel like it’s lower. I haven’t had the car in a few months so I don’t know if it’s just my mind or what.

Check the throttle cable adjustment at the throttle cable bracket at the throttle body. Over time the cable does stretch so you may find that the throttle isn't hitting 100% opening with the pedal fully down. You want to adjust the cable so that there's some slack in the cable between the bracket and throttle, about 2mm up/down in the cable before it starts to open the throttle when you push down or pull up on the exposed section. You need 2 either 12mm or 14mm wrenches to make the adjustment, the throttle MUST be able to fully close when you're done and it's wise to clean it before making adjustments to cable tension so there's no issues with it sticking/binding/not returning fully when you're done.
