Has anyone actually tried the DIY throttle cable adjustment??? Please tell me if it is worth doing or a complete waste of time.

Some members have done it but IMO, i don't think it's too useful. For one, if you don't do it correct, you'll screw up the idle on your car. Two, it won't make too much of a difference

I'm not an expert..but I would think that once the slack was takin up..meaning after you depress the peddle more than say a half inch and take up what little slack there is...this mod would be useless. I might give you a nanosecond faster launch time...and even that I would think would only really be felt in an automatic. Again I'm not an expert But I would be willing to bet.

the maker of the DIY was driving an auto lol so he felt the differnce.... and my brother has done the diy and he drives an auto and he also felt a big gain (well big i duuno)

it gives more throttle response because the factory adjustment has a little play on the accelarator

Yeah, it won't give you any more power.....just better throttle response.
It only takes about 2 or 3 minutes so it won't be that much of a waste of time...

The DIY throttle cable was the first technical thing I did to my car (coz I had no money) and it just takes a lot of the play out of the accelerator pedal. Before this, you had to push down quite a bit to get any response, now you get instant response (even though the response is depressing!) If you have an auto, its worth your five minutes. But I doubt it'd do much good for a manual.

as far as i know, this diy is useless cause the cable will eventually return to normal.

Yeah, I think it's def. worth doing.

You really can feel a big difference in the response on the Auto.
