Adjusting throttle cable
1. On the throttle cable, are both the nuts capable of being adjusted? One of mine does not miove and I'm not sure if that's intended or it's stuck frozen.
2. What's the proper method for adjusting the cable? I develop this hanging idle after stop and go driving that requires me to flick the gas pedal back with my toes to release the cable from being engaged.

APPS Adjustment.pdf
Yes, both should move. Both of mine where stuck when I replaced my APPS.
I have attached the proper way to adjust them, which require special tools. But as long as it is adjusted close enough, your ECU should make up the difference like lanzerralliart said.

I ended up using the instructions for maul adjustment in All Data as they were much simpler to follow. Nonetheless, thank you everyone.

Same here, on both my lancers, my cables have the proper amount of slack, just been too lazy to pull the cables and lube em'. Did that solve the problem, mine only happens if i'm gentle on the accel pedal, like in stop and go traffic as well, which is also the worst time for the throttle to stick...
