Default TP ANGLE 96%. How do i fix that?

I had the predator hooked up today and noticed that it said my tp angle was only 96% with it to the floor. What do I do to fix that. I did recently notice that my gas pedal had some slack in it as well.

Its almost as if the cable was too long to not open it all the way. This is only recently it used to open 100% all the time.

Do you have ASR? If so, you can easily adjust the throttle cable tension. There is a black coupler (looks like a big inline fuse) in the cable line between the ASR/TSC module and the TB. This is where you adjust the tension.

If you do not have traction control, there is no easy way to properly adjust the cable.

It's easy to remove the slack from the throttle cable when you have ASR. It's kind of difficult to explain though. Post up if you haven't got it yet and I'll explain how to do it.
