So I wish someone would explain how you adjust the throttle body to spec including the Throttle body cable and the BISS at the same time so that your Idle is not maladjusted from doing one and not the other. Also, I would like spec answers not guesses so that other newbies can understand that you cant just do one if the other is not adjusted right.

I know that a ruff estimate is two full turns from the bottom and 30 at iscposistion on dsmlink (at idle), and I also know that the throttle cable is supposed to be adjusted so that wot is wot, but how do we know exactly how much slack is supposed to be in the cable, I noticed that I can move mine from several different ways the Two-bolts or just simply pull on it, I just want to know how you adjust it so that it wont move around so that it doesnt leave the TB plate open

After making sure you are vacuum leak free. First, cable adjustment... I recommend doing this with the car running. Cable should have as little slack as possible without actually cracking the throttle plate. Listen to the motor, watch the throttle actuator and RPMs and set the cable to as tight as you can without actually opening the plate. Next, VFAQ BISS adjustment. 2G BISS Adjustment Finally, compensate in Link if necessary.
