I am truly in need of help here, I just installed a throttle cable for my 93 integra with a b18C1. I used a B18C1 throttle cable, and it was too short, so I had to modify the throttle bracket to get it to work. Now, the throttle stays open when the clutch is depressed causing the revs to raise, the pedal is extremely hard to move, and my S-AFC tells me there is always anywhere between .5 to 1.1% throttle opening. WTF.

My gut tells my its something to do with the bracket, but I have no idea why it would be acting this way, the bracket itself doesn't actually touch any part of the cable, only the adjustment screws (which are all the way to loose, BTW)

Even if the throttle was too tight, and it caused the car to rev slightly during shifts, that doesn't explain the pedal stiffness.

If I don't get this fixed, the car is going in the paper Monday, so any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

I would have to agree that the bracket/mounting is your problem. With the cable being too short it's probably holding the throttle opened slightly even without applying any pressure on the pedal/throttle rotor. I would try to adjust and modify it until you get it right because it needs to be fully closed at idle. Also avoid any sharp bends in the cable.

 

OK, I readjusted the bracker, and some other small things, now it is closing all the way, just like its supposed to. However, The pedal is still very firm, and its not fun to drive. It also has NO slack in the pedal at all. If you so much as breath on it, the revs go soaring.

There are no sharp bends in the cable, the bracket is close enought to allow the throttle to be closed all the way, and yet its still stiff. Ideas?
