I have a 97, and I removed my TCS unit in accordance with this write-up:

I bought a brand new 94-95 throttle cable (non-TCS, no adjustment) and installed last night. I have a cruise control cable on the way, so that part isn't done yet.
My new throttle cable seems to be about an inch too long. When the pedal is on the floor, the TB is only opening 1/2-2/3.
Is there some sort of adjustment I don't know about, or will anything change once I get the cruise cable on?
I'm thinking of clipping the cable on the pedal side, and replacing the cable end with a small split-shot fishing weight. Any thoughts on this?

i did the same thing on my 96 and used a cable for a non tcs car and it fit fine. make sure you've got it clipped in correctly(wrapped correctly around the throttle blade). there is no reason it shouldn't fit unless you got the wrong cable.

Nope, I have the right cable, and it is installed correctly. However, the TB "arm" on my 58mm is different than stock. It also doesn't have a cruise control hookup, so I bought a stock TB to steal the factory arm off of it. Maybe that'll solve it.
