Problem with throttle cable
A friend of mine looked at my engine because at stop lights when I go to take off, its bogs a lot but then gradually starts to go. He felt the throttle cable and said it was too loose. He could push the cable up like a half of an inch. Now I just got off with my mechanic and he told me that its supposed to be a little sloppy but what do you consider sloppy? Would a half of an inch be considered too sloppy or not?

Rep Power: 0 I mean it was so bad that my friend could easily peel the cable of the brass lookin pulley thing on the throttle body, Im guessin thats pretty bad and needs to be tighten, correct?
