adjust throttle cable

All right... i've searched quite a bit and haven't gotten lucky...

adjusting the throttle cable (on an IX if it matters) must be so easy that no one has bothered to ask or answer how

but i'm clueless... what do I adjust, and is it at the accelerator pedal or in the engine bay? the throttle response is really laggy (been that way since i bought the car months ago. The throttle cable has quite a bit of play in it and I'd like to see if i can tighten (within reason).

Any help?

Well if your throttle cable is still clipped to the front of the valve cover take it off of there and screw the clip to the bolt over your resistor packs by your ABS on the firewall. It worked for my car and quite a few others when it had play in it.Plus it looks better out of the way.
