Default Problems with B16 swap into 91 CRX DX

Ok guys, I had a 89's Si with a B16 swap, well that car got destroyed so I yanked the motor and picked up another CRX. The new CRX is a 91' DX that was converted to MPFI. Well I swapped in my B16 and for some reason my throttle cable doesn't reach for ****. I believe they swapped the throttle cable out to a Si one because I went to the junkyard and yanked an Si one myself and it is the exact same thing.
My question is, do I need to pick up a DX throttle cable since this is a DX body instead of an Si throttle cable??

This is driving me crazy so any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

usually its not the throttle cable thats the problem its the throttle cable bracket....just modify yours to work...either cut and weld a new piece to it, or take a piece of metal and drill the holes in it to make it fit...

I thought this is what you had to use for a B-swap anyways.

you can still use the stock dx cable if you modify the bracket....but yeah the teg one is plug n play...well kinda, you still need to adjust it.
