How can I adjust my throttle cable so that it is a bit tighter? My gas pedal has a bit more play than I would prefer.

Thanks in advance!

Is the play in the peddal or at the throttle body? Pop the hood and move the throttle cable wheel. If you hear the throttle switch click as soon as you move the wheel, it's adjusted properly. Not sure if you can take slack out of the pedal. I'll let you know tomorrow if there is any play in my pedal.

 

Not sure, I'll try and check, though!

Thanks for the advice and I'll look forward to hearing your findings!
