Default 102mm TB, throttle cable problem

So I'm trying to get my throttle cable adjusted correctly on my 102mm PTM TB going on my FAST 102. I have the cable in the bottom hole on the TB cam, but it won't close fully unless I push it closed by hand. In the traction control module (right by the battery) when I close the tb pulls the bottom gear off of the green spacer that stops the bottom gear. I've tried pulling on the cable with the adjuster loose to get a little more length but it just doesn't appear to be there, it's like I need a cable 1/4" longer.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks for any help or ideas, I found a similar issue with the search feature from last year, but there was never any solution.

Are you using a spacer for some reason? I believe that's my problem because it adds a good inch and then the the cable can't quite reach far enough for the tb to close all the way.

How did you correct this, I have a spacer to connect my 92 MM tb to Fast 102.
Cable is short also.

Does your PTM TB not have two positions to mount the cable? There is another on mine that would allow for a cable that is about a 1/4" shorter.

It does but I'm still out of luck.
The throttle cable length was fine before the 92 mm tb to Fast 102 intake adapter.
Guess I will have to try the Lokar cable.

I ran into that on my 102TB, running it on some different style intakes. And some I had to make a bracket so my stock cable fit. I didnt want to get a difrrent cable, or make a stop on the gas pedal. Ended up I just drilled some extra holes in the TB. I have 5 total, I got 1 or 2? between the stock ones (98-00 or 01-02 Tb cam shape, and cable setup) worked good for me move to a new hole for WOT.
I posted some pics in some other thread, and my build thread this year
