Default throtle tighting

would any one suggest tighting the throtle cable, if so how do you do it on a 02 accord sohc 4cyl. Does it make you faster or anything?

Tightening the cable just increases trottle response........no slack to be taken when first pressing the pedal......it doesn't make you faster at all.

hey i think the purpose of a venom 400 has just been unveiled in a more mechanical, and much cheaper way

dont ever buy one of those...but your idea is interesting, but probably wasteful when it comes to gas mileage

i dont' think you need to tighten the cable cause your car is new!!!

people tighten it to either have a fast throttle response or to
tighten up from the stretching thats done over time

tighten too much and your idle can be off because the TB butterfly is cracked open too much
