Hi,
I just bought an used Honda Civic 2001 Model. The accelerator is very
hard to push, though the engine runs smooth.
I am new to cars, hence dont know whether this a problem or its ok.
Thanking you

Is it hard to push at first, but then it sort of "pops" and is easy after
that?

First off, check to see that the floor mat is not in the way. If that
checks out, one possible cause is carbon build-up in the throttle body.
