Stupid Throttle cable question

[Dragun]

Hi guys

I have a 95 FD, and recently the accelerator pedal has become slack which is annoying because im so used to feeling the peddle and there being revs but now i have to push it further before i get any real response.

Im assuming this is because the throttle cable has become loose so i need to tighten it up, but this may sound stupid but which nut is it you do it from, i know from other cars theres an adjuster nut and a holding nut but seems theres only one on here, but i think that attatches the throttle lever to the throttle body :S

Anyway in short can anyone explain how to tighten this cable up please.

Many thanks.

Yup, there\'s an adjuster by the throttle body

Should be two - one either side of the bracket that holds the cable - just tighten it up there, and then lock the two nuts together with the rubber grommet inbetween

there should be some slack in the cable, don\'t overtighten it or you\'ll end up with a 3,000 rpm idle (from personal experience :rolleyes:).
