Throttle Cable Not Tight!

[deep_nz]

Hey, so after much searching, i still can not find an answer!

I have put in a Greddy-Style front facing plenum with an aftermarket throttle body. Now the problem is that the throttle cable isn't tight enough. I tightened the two bolts on the bracket but it still is loose and my throttle does not open fully! is there anyway to shorten the cable to another way to tighten the cable? thanks!

You would be well advised to put up a photo showing what is attached where and where you think it could/should be tighter.

Had the same problem with my Plazmaman plenum, despite Plazmaman's assurances that the stock throttle cable would fit fine. Fixed it using this:

That's the adjuster from the gyro cable of a BMX, will cost you maybe $5 from your local bicycle store. Simply trim it to suit the size you need, then use it to clamp the accelerator end of the throttle cable like so:

Obviously not as good as getting a custom throttle cable made up or using one off another model car that fits, but probably the best 'quick and easy' fix. If you do it properly, there's no chance of the cable coming loose or anything like that.
