where in the throttle linkage is the adjustment done? how do i know/test if i am getting full throttle with the pedal down?

I had the GF press the gas to the floor while i looked at the linkage move under the hood. I then determined that the linkage was only using aprox 1/3 of the max travel. on the linkage coming off the firewall to the motor, there was a slotted adjustment. I adjusted this 80% the other direction and Wa-La, MORE POWER!! In reality the power was always there, just not being used. In my case the 240d went from slow moving road hazard to respectable in town commuter.
Soon as i get my "Flux-Capacitor" working we'll be able to get Mom and Dad to the Fish Under The Sea Dance, and I'll be Back In Time!
