Brian, my factory manual is calling the cable above the one you had me adjust the bowden cable. The end of the cable the manual calls the bowden cable has a spring around it which rests against a bracket, and is retained on the end by a circular clip. The manual states that the adjustment of the bowden cable is done from inside the car. I know you know your stuff, but this has me confused. Why is my manual calling the cable below the oil filter housing the "control thrust cable" and the cable above it the bowden cable? The cable you had me adjust definitely reduced the amount of pedal required to accelerate the car. Will adjusting the bowden cable do this? I'm confused since I have confidence in you but my manual labels things differently. I hope you can enlighten me, since I would truly like to understand. Thanks so much for your help. I could not own and maintain this car if it weren't for you and guys like you on this forum. As it is, I am having a great time learning and working on this car!
