the throttle cable are those silver cables right in front of the throttle body, to adjust it, you loosen those bolts and adjust, and tighten to stay at the setting.
double check which one belong to the cruise control, i forgot which ones which.

well if your car dont need any adjustments itll cause yout idle to be super high, and gas comsumption will double, just check if theres any "slack" if so then tighten it just a little to get it right... its to give u a better response thats all, it should be checked every month if you like to floor it alot.

RICE RICE BABY, Doing this will do nothing but waste your time and fuel. Then in a few days,you'll be posting questions like "I adjusted my throttle cable and now my idle is really high, WTF???"....


If you are looking for free HP, try advancing your timing. smaller wheels, and get a damn 5 spd!!!

also, Weapon R makes a smaller throttle rotor that increases throttle response by reducing the distance the accelerator has to be pressed to open the throttle. I have this on my car, makes a noticable difference.
