My bad, i meant tighten the pedal. When i first got my 93 i thought it was fine until I got rides in my friends 94, i decided to take a look at it and there was a lot of slack on the pedal cable under the dash. You might want to look there. I didnt tighten it too much but its now perfect.

It idles fine because of the idle air controller motor, it really does not have much to do with the throttle cable. If the car has traction control there is an adjustment on the cable behind the throttlebody. I'm not sure how to do it at the petal, never looked at it.
