just got my car and notice there is some slack on the throttle cable , should i go ahead and give it more tension or should i leave it as is?.....

thanks guys

 

Tighten it, leave a little bit of slack though (I believe the specs are in the owner's manual).

 

Don't go by the manual.
Tighten it leaving ~ 1/4" play.
You will notice the difference

 

thanks a lot guys .. appreciate the fast reply

so i should tighten it that the tension i should have 1/4" play?.......

 

Yep - just so it is not so tight it affects idle

 

yep

 

How so

 

yah it does effect the idle, its happens to me sometimes still sometimes

 

The OEM manual states a higher tolerance on play.
Hence why when they stretch with age they go very lose!
It only affects idle if you take up too much slack!
Adjust it with the engine running or make a not of the idle rpm before and after.

 

You need some slack or you'll kangaroo your throttle.
