throttle cable
i found the link to tighten it and get the slack out.. but i need a picture of where it is. might sound stupid, but i'm much more into the I.C.E. and looks of my car than the actual performance ****.. basically meaning, if it doesn't involve doors that pop up, monitors, etc.. i don't know **** about it. lol. Thanks for the help!

I'm not sure, but it's not a good idea to overtighten it. The cable may come loose and then you're screwed. Although if it's not tightened enough, you'll never be able to get to WOT (wide open throttle).

hey guys, i found this little technique out...
go back to the throttle cable, and if you tighten it with the engine on, you can make the engine rev up! i tightened mine so that you could hear the engine revving even with your foot off the pedal! my acceleration is muuuuuch faster now.

Rep Power: 380 You dont want to tighten it to the point where it makes the car Idle higher then Nomal, Just enough to get rid of the slack in the cable. will it give you more power? No. will it give you better responce? No. But it will get rid of a bit of that "Dead Zone" on the throttle.
