So I was working on something else and noticed my gas pedal and assembly is very wobbly under my dash so I followed the cables under the hood and the cable under the hood going from the throttle body to some type of box by the air filter housing ha a bit of slack in it but the other one that goes down into the fire wall doesn't at the throttle body but does a slight bit as it winds down to the firewall so I googled it and it said something about tightening a bolt but I can't see it any suggestions

So if you can upload a video I can help you more with the problem, you may have something broken, here are the bolts that may need tightening. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens. Ken
