Leave it like that, if you over tighten you might break the cable.
If it aint broke don't dix it. Havn't you heard that before?
Question, not qwestion. The spelling police are in full force today.

Tighten it to where the cable is almost pulling the throttle plate. Make sure you don't mess up the idle. Just basically get the slack out.

And in case you dont know how to tighten it, here's how. There's a bracket with two bolts, 10 or 12mm I believe. Just loosen both of them just enough so the bracket slides. Slide the bracket back till the slack in the line tightens up, but as said before not so much that you cause the car to idle higher. Over time the cable will loosen, thats natural.

i agree with evul.. if its completely horizontal at WOT and your idle is fine.. leave it alone. there should be a little bit of slack.
