I adjusted the throttle cable today... much better response. After my car is warm the idle is about 720-750. Is this too high? Should I let some of the slack back out?

If you adjust your throttle cable, you car should sit right at about 750-1000 at idle when the car is at op. temp.
When you adjust it, it gives you better throttle response. It just takes the slack out and lets you get a quicker jump
when you push the gas....it takes some of the mushy feeling away. Hope that helps brotha !! Later.

antidote11....... Where in Dallas? I wonder if I've seen you drivin'. I haven't noticed too many other 2k1's around. And when I do it's mostly just old ladies.

If you live in Coppell, then I'm not far from you at all....I live on the corner of Royal and MacArthur.
I go to the car wash on Beltline and MacArthur all the time to wash my car.....are you around there ??
Actually I used to live in Coppell back in the day, I went to Coppell High for 3 years and I lived off of Sandy Lake Rd.

Mine idled at 700 warm both before and after the cable adjustment. I like the quicker response.
