I do not know how much slack there is suppose to be in the throttle cable but the adjustment is straight forward. The best way to check is put the pedal to the floor and see if the butterfly in the throttle body opens all the way. the adjustment procedture is differnt is you have traction control, it involves an extra step. There are two adjustemnt point if you have traction control.
