    Default accelerator cable slack

    hi there i was just out at my car poking around under the bonnet and noticed both my cruise control and accelerator cables are a little slack as it is now i can wiggle them side to side a fair bit, should the cable be tight or is it meant to be a little slack?

    The accelerator cable has an adjuster, about 40cm up down the line from the TB. As for the cruise control cable, don't worry, the cruise control module will keeping pulling until desired throttle position is reached.

    But whatever you do, don't make the cable tight, it should have a bit of flex.

    The cruise control cable also has an adjuster against the firewall witch looks exactly the same as the one up from ur throttle body
