ok i just want to clear up how your supposed to adjust the tv cable. you just push in that D thing as hard as possible, and move the throttle as far as it will go with the D pushed in? this is what i *think* my haynes manual is trying to say, but i need more details. any help is apperciated. leave it to me to make this complicated..

 

Here is what Leo reccomends for a cable adjustment procedure:

Here is the adjustment procedure: To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the 'D' shaped lock button on the adjuster and loosen the cable setting. Now, have someone floor the gas pedal while you check to see if the throttle plate is open all the way. Usually they are off a little and will wiggle. Do whatever you have to do to get it open solid. Now, with the pedal still floored, press the 'D' button and pull the cable casing (the black tube) back as hard as you can and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable so if for some reason it gets moved you can know where to put it again. The problem with the 'self adjust method' is that it bends things and puts them permanently out of whack. It is also the full TV setting, which is theoretically what the GM method does.

Now, I just hope he doesn't mind my copying and pasting this! He get's all the credit for it! All I did is search the forum to find it!

 

anyone here use that method? i dunno if i should do it like that or the way the haynes says.
