so in the engine bay where the throttle cable connects to the throttle there is an adjuster...

i had about 6mm slack on the cable, now there is 0, and i cant wait to see how the engine responds to the foot when i get it off the jack stands.

I dont remember seeing anything about this adjuster in the bentley or on any sites, anyone else ever mess around with it?

Zero play is not a good thing, need a little slack...ehhh youll figure that out soon enough.

so it says 0.25mm min slack... thats pretty much 0, i would think having it too tight would flip the idle out of whack.

i would say im right around half a mm from pulling on the plate, but then again i dont have the engine or tranny specified in that pic so no clue if thats about right or not.
