for the rpms dropping slow, i would suggest doing the IAC mod. that takes care of the dropping issue real quick. as for the throttle cable, i have no clue. if ur car is having weired rpm issues maybe your MAF is dirty? or you might try the PEDAL MOD? that might take some of the slack out.

Hi. I had the same problem on mine. I was suggested to remove air intake and look to see if the flap in the TB was closing completly, it wasnt. It was full of dirt which I cleaned with TB cleaner and a cloth. Its been fine since.

ok so the TB cable mal adjustment is making it act crazy? Or is it some vacum leak? Do you hear any hissing noises? That would be a leak, bad gasket.

Might want to try have the cable professionalyinspected to rule that one out first. From there it might just be a full tune up, plugs, filters.....
