Sorry, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic or rude - I'm at work and don't have my manual or I would tell you. From memory (disclaimer): find the cable- there are 2 nuts. One is a locking nut and the other tightens/loosens the cable depending on which way you turn it.

Be sure not to over tighten.

OK here goes-
1 you loosen the two nuts.
2 if you're facing the car, pull the cable gently toward the driver side until you hear the idle change. then loosen it until the rpms drop back.
3 once you get the cable where you want it- tighten the nuts back.
