Default How to tighten the throttle cable for a 06 Accord?

I found the gas pedal of my 06 Accord is loosen, how can i tighten it? It seems the throttle cable is connected to a black box (the position sensor?), there are no bolts to tighten this cable, how can i do that?

Thank.

It looks like you can take up some of the slack of the cable from the gas pedal to the accelerator position sensor (app sensor) under a cover on the passenger side of the firewall. It has to be near the app sensor.

EDIT: Be sure to leave some slack in the cable, or the sensor will think you are pushing on the gas pedal.

You may want to have an assistant slightly push on the gas pedal to see if you get movement at the apps sensor before adjusting.
