RE: Full Throttle - 99-04 throttle cable adjustment/fix
thank you for this article! i didn't even notice the problem until i happened across this write up! ty ty !
the plastic hose i used was too weak, even after i double stacked it, so i had to get a 3rd hose clamp to put in the middle, and now it is perfect. total cost to fix: $2.70 and a few mins work.

double checked my 04 throttle body position with the pedal to the floor with out the mod, butterfly is fully open . Only change to mine this mod will make is to raise the pedal. I checked it after the mod, pedal is alot higher but when pressed to WOT i'm putting all the bind on the cable . The pedal isnt touching the carpet anymore at WOT. I'll either adjust a pedal stop to save my cable from breaking or put it back like it was, no need to risk it breaking the cable with my lead foot.

I just did this on my 02 GT and used abouta 5/8" long spacer held on with 1 hose clamp. I like the pedal position way better now. It took up about 3/4 of the slack in the cable if I went anymore the gas pedal seemed too high.
Excellant free mod, my pedal is now ergonomically correct.

Okay gents, go out to your junk drawer in the kitchen and get that cheap bic pen someone gave you, take it apart and use that "nylon tube". Cut it one inch, you don't need it any longer than that, cut the slit, unhook the cable at the engine to let out the slack, slide it on and clamp it. Rehook the cable at the engine and your finished, total time is about 10 minutes and cost is nothing if you use the zip ties you already have laying around. I wouldn't bother with hose clamps, I mean after all what is there to worry about the zips slipping, you've already removed the slack so there is no where for them to slip of to.Besides if your still worried use three or four of them.

RE: Full Throttle - 99-04 throttle cable adjustment/fix
I did this and i guess i sort of botched the first install, it works great but i looked down there and the tubing is slipping... will fix tomorrow. I read that a clamp of some sort could be used instead of a spacer to prevent any chance of that endcap popping off... any idea what to use?
