DIY Throttle Sensor question

Just wondering if anyone whose done this DIY can give me some input. Does it actually work? Seems kinda odd to me that adjusting a single cable can help out *shrug*

Throttle sensor??? You mean throttle cable, right? Yes, it does work. It basicallt just takes the slack out of the throttle cable. This means that the car will "go" as soon as you step on the gas. There's no play left in the cable (or very little play left). Mine used to be like this... Depress the gas pedal 1.5" and then it'll start to go. Now it's like this... Depress the gas pedal 1/4" and it'll start to go. Get it? That's all it does.
