I have a ’99 Pontiac Grand Prix SE that’s a bit of a junker, but I’m just trying to keep it going until I’m finished with school. One thing I noticed the other day was that if I put my foot behind my gas pedal and pull forward, it moves about 3/4″ to 1″ forward. It doesn’t wobble, the mount is fine. My initial thought was the cable might have slack in it, but I can’t figure out how to tighten it (I’m a bit of a self-repair noob, but I’m learning/teaching myself). I’m also not sure if this is just how the pedal is. I’m constantly playing around with it, but anyone who knows how to adjust the cable for a Pontiac, any help is much appreciated.

IT might be how the pedal is. In the event of an accident, it may engineered a certain way so it becomes loose, for safety, rather than binding up and going out of control. I don’t remember ever noticing and adjustement of sorts on those types, but I do know on some GM cars that the pedal moves in a way so the cable can be replaced with undoing a bunch of things but its not native to the way you would normally use it. Sorta like the pulling up of a clutch pedal on a Ford with a self adjusting toothed quadrant.
