okay so i messed around with the tps and i cant get my idol any lower then 900rpm. on a warm start up itll be like 750 to 800rpm and then after i hit the gas it wont drop down past 950rpm, and also i have a little play in the gas pedal. is there anyway to fix that?. and ive always had that and it was fine. but i want to fix it becasue its anoyying now.

theres 2 bolts on the back of the intake manifold, loosen them and pull the cable/bracket whichever way it needs to go.

Either that or like i said in the begining, make sure you wound up the spring on the TB that the cable connects to. It is probably one revolution off.
