Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I've searched several boards and also the Bentley but can't find a) what the correct setting of the cable is, i.e. how much slack, how to tell what is fully open, etc. or b) how to adjust it if it's off. My cable has about 1/8" of slack and with the pedal to the floor, the stop on the throttle body is not contacted. Anyone know? Thanks much. PS. I have a '99.
