on your throttle body there s hould be a couple bolts that hold a slider down that is connected to your throttle cable, but i'm not sure if this is what your asking. if you move this piece of metal you can tighten it up a little, but you are adjusting your butterfly valve too.

on the intake manifold is where the two bolts are. there is a procedure on how to do it on this site under mods called throttle plate adjustment.

If these two bolts dont tighten it enough (as mine when I modded the TB) there is a black box lookin thing it comes out of on the passenger side of the engine bay. You loosen the front bolt and slide it off then loosen the back or tighten it, whichever goes the desired direction. Annoying work though because you have to fully put it back on in order to see if its tight enough then repeat that over and over. O well it worked
