I recently removed my TB to clean it. When I put it back on the cable is loose as a goose. How do I fix that?
 
Did you unbolting the cable from the intake manifold or just pop it out of the TB wheel? If the latter, you need to make sure the cable is in its track along the circumference of the wheel.

It's really loose along the wheel. It pops off when I hit the throttle
 
The T-cable has that retainer on the end of it that is attached to the intake manifold by two 10mm bolts.

Loosen up those bolts and slide the cable retainer back to where it leaves about an eight of an inch of slack on the cable that is wrapping around the wheel.

Or, the connection down at the gas pedal came off..gonna have to crawl under the dash to see how that is.
