dont bother.
adjusting the throttle cable does nothing
spend ur time clearing head lights or something.
if u want to really know. try pulling the cable to the left while the engine is on and tell me what u hear

if he wants to do the DIY Throttle Cable Adjustment, thats up to him. if he asks for a lil help, let him get that help if your not willing to help him yourself. theres no need to flame the thread or being a jerk. its a simple question with a simple answer. i myself did the throttle cable and noticed a very minimal difference in throttle response, however i felt that it was worth it. if you dont feel that it is a worthy mod, then dont do it and keep your mouth shut.

Rep Power: 0 i adjusted my throttle cable as well... feels nice....... i dont have to press on the gas too hard to downshift while braking. (heel toe) hahaha..... guys stop fighting..... dyum...... sick n tired of peeps flaming each other... simple question simple asnwer.....
Mine also stretched back to normal. But I didn't even tell it did till I saw it.
Guys you think it'll get you a better start but it wont. It jus opens up the throttle when you're chillin at a light, basically lettin a lil more air in and therefore wasting a lil more gas. People think cuz the throttle is semi-open at idle they get a better start, not true, the throttle still responds the same way but you jus start at a higher idle position.
Im not one to judge maybe you want more air in you manifold cuz of your turbo, but idling at a stoplight isn't gonna do much bro. You want the air? Spend ur time porting out your throttle body, tha'll accutally help when you're going instead of sitting at a light, and P&P accutally helps more air, something most ppl get confused with throttle cable adjustment.
Good luck[IMG]i/expressions/beer_yum.gif[/IMG]

Rep Power: 0 the entire point of the DIY throttle cable mod is to get rid of the play you have with the pedal...you SHOULD not idle higher after doing it..the throttle should not be open at all unless you have your foot on the accelerator
