Default loose gas pedal after swap

I have recently did a b18b swap, but it seems like the gas pedal loose...
it turns out the wire connects to gas pedal is too long..

can someone tell how they solve this problem, e.g. do I buy the wire from integra to switch it.. or do I have to have someone to cut the wire shorter...

Please give me some pointers..

Are you speaking of the throttle cable or a electrical wire?

the throttle cable.. I think

it's the one if you put, it gives gas to the engine

make the throttle cable taughter at the throttle cable bracket on the Intake Manifold.

If that doesn't do the trick, you'll have to go under the dash.

Does it idle fine?

Did you use a civic throttle cable, or did you pick up a integra one when you did the swap?

You could rig it with the civic cable, but from my personal experience I have never been able to use the civic cable properly. I always used the integra cable when I did swap with a gs-r and ls. In my car, I have a b18b1, back then I tried the civic cable, but it just couldnt get it to work right. But yea, the integra throttle cable will only run your $20 bucks from the dealer and should line up right.
