2 nuts between a bar. loosen the 1 towards the throttle body. tighten the cable to where there is minimal slack in the line make the cable almost taught but so where it doesn;t more the throttle rotor. then retighten the nut back down. need 1 10mm wrench i believe. once u look at it and loosen the nut u will see how it operates its pretty simple. first mod i did.

Deflection spec is 10-12mm. You can actually get it less than that, but anything too tight and your idle will be too high.
