like when you tap your gas pedal,you accellerate a little quicker. the factory setting is for those granny drivers, so they dont accidently rear end other cars. hope that helps.

Rep Power: 0 Look right next to the throttle body- you'll see the metal lever that pushes the throttle up when the line is pulled. Just get an adjustable wrench and tighten it so the lever is flush with the throttle. Do do it too much or you'll idle high.

Don't waste your time adjusting it, it won't make a difference....maybe in your mind it will, but it doesn't make a real difference. Now if you REALLY want increased performance, slap on some stickers baby!!!
