gas pedal problem help

[krazykanuk]

This isn't a huge problem, its not like the gas pedal sticks of doesn't work, but its a huge annoyance, and is taking some of the get up and go out of my 1994 ranger (just got it on saturday).
there is about 2-3 inches of play on the gas pedal before it starts to pull the throttle pedal. like i pull the pedal forward those 2-3 inches, and then let it go and it falls back the same 2-3 inches. i have to go through those inches before i get any throttle response.

and when i step on it, the truck gets going to a point, then i have my foot to the floor, and it slowly gets going.

any ideas on what it might be, or any help would be greatly appreciated
