How does one tighten a throttle cable? I have a B16

I know youre going to loosen the nut on the cable, near the throttle body, but which way do you adjust the cable to tighten it?


Should it be obvious once i pop the hood and start going at it?

It should become obvious once you start turning the nuts. Beware though... use the correct size and type wrenches to losen and tighten them or you'll round them off.

And... Do not do this to adjust your idle. You'll totally screw things up.
Make sure you leave enough slack in the cable to allow the throttle plate to close fully after the vacuum dashpot pulls in.

 

thanks


but what do u mean do not do this to adjust your idle?

wouldnt tightening the cable make the car idle a bit better?
