Weird vibration?

I have a vibration that can only be felt during acceleration and sometimes when slowing down. I feel it most in the gas pedal. I checked the usual stuff like blower hitting firewall, bad pulley bearings etc. Could it be the convertor? Could a motor mount cause it? It is very slight, but anoying. Anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance, Skip

Check the throttle cable istelf sometimes with the air kits etc the cable rubs on some of the brackets for the box. this will give u a vibration in your gas pedal.

Thanks guys!

Throttle cable was resting on the power brake vacuum line. Never thought that it would vibrate that much. Moved the cable and the vibration seems to be gone. Wow! Such a simple thing. This board is very helpful. Thanks again, Skip
