    Default I wouldnt think to check that!

    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?

    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.
