After many years of looking I have finally bought a 1999 SC 400. It has 120k miles Sil/Blk. Does anyone know how reduce the sensitivity of the gas pedal when pulling away from a dead stop?

Maybe throttle cable.
The following thread shows you how to tighten up the cable for better throttle response. I figure you can do the opposite to lessen the throttle response:

you should feel lucky you have the high comp engine and better torque convertor than those of us with the older setups! really though, that's just how it is. after you get accustomed to the feel of the throttle pedal, you'll be able to modulate it better.
what did you drive before?

Car launches from stop. Doesn't always do it but when it does I try to lightly feather pedal it just grabs and goes. Accelerates smooth any other time. Was thinking vacuum leak? Cable throttle body gummed up? Any luck figuring out what was causing yours to launch from stop?
