My gas pedal has some free play in it and feels a little loose. I drove my friends evo today, it has no freeplay and feels a ton firmer. Just wondering how to adjust/ tighten thanks

 

adjust the throttle cable on the intake manifold but dont tighten too much cause then it will raise your idle

 

does it do any other side effects beside raising the idle?

 

if you adjust it right...no, it shouldnt have any other side effects

 

Just adjust it until there is little to no slack on the cable. You'll notice if it's too tight when your idling higher.

Open your hood. Look down, it's right in your face wrapped around the valve cover ending at the top of the intake manifold slightly toward the throttle body.

 

thanks
but that should help on take offs right?
i wonder if it gives you more hp

 

no it will not give you more hp........how could it?

it will make the response slightly better

 

ohhh that cable got itttttttt chieffffff

 

I dont want to be the azzhole here.... but i am going to be. HOW the heck can you ask for help and NOT know what people are talking about?!?! I mean really?! Atleast have a clue what you are doing before you go asking for help

 

well that happens when youre a newbie and wonder if your friends tell the truth lol!

 

A assume you found the slotted bracket. You need to leave a little bit of free play because the cable changes length with temperature. Next winter you may have a high idle if you don't.

 

Why on earth would it give you more horsepower? Lets use some common sense man.

 

If the cable has enough slack in it that the throttle plate isn't opening completely before the WHEEEE pedal hits the stop, adjusting might provide more horsepower.
