Helloo

The cable cand be adjusted near the throttle body, on the cable there is a black cylinder shape object with a metalic clip. You take out the clip gently, and then you'll be able to extend that part....the put the clip back.....Try it a few times until it's ok.

PS: it's normal to have some slack, my pedal seems to act only half of it's journey. But when i put the pedal to the metal i get max acceleration, and the throttle plate it's wide open (90 degrees)
