Default Throttle cable help!

My throttle cable is too long and it wont open my throttle all the way causing my VTEC to not kick in sometimes and my car also wont go past 6500rpm's in 3rd gear it just jerks the car after that and doesnt go. which throttle cable do i need to install? 2000 civic si with B18C JDM GSR swap. thanks!!

Are you using a stock GS-R throttle body?

My pedal always was sticky before but... I just got my car out of the shop a couple days ago, i was running an LS tranny and had a 99 si tranny installed and the guy who installed it also cleaned out my throttle body and fixed the sticky pedal. however now when i am floored now vtec doesnt kick in until about 6300rpm in 1st and sometimes 6500rpm in 2nd. and when im in 2nd gear it wont let me go past 7000rpm same with 3rd! could it be the throttle body or the cable itself?

any cel? ........n take off your intake and have someone floor it for you. check to see if the plate is wide open in the throttle body. if not, adjust the cable; if it is, your tps is off hope that helps
