Factory recommendations:
1. Locate detent cable near upper plenum on drivers side.
2. Remove push-button cap on detent cable hold down.
3. Push detent button in and slide/pull the cable toward the firewall. (The plastic rectangular slide should not be exposed)
4. Hop in car and push the accelerator pedal down linearly to WOT position (do not mash it violently)
5. Inspect position of plastic detent slide. Some of the rectangular slide should be exposed. (Take the time to scribe a line on the rectangular slide to mark its position)

there ya go...

To adjust the TV Cable skip the book method and do this: Press the D button on the adjuster and loosen the cable setting. Now, have someone floor the gas pedal while you check to see if the throttle plate is open all the way. Usually they are off a little and will wiggle. Do whatever you have to do to get it open solid. Now, with the pedal still floored, press the D button and pull the cable casing (the black tube) back as hard as you can and release the button. You now have the engine, tranny and gas pedal all in sync at WOT. Mark the cable so if for some reason it gets moved you can know where to put it again. The problem with the 'self adjust method' is that it bends things and puts them permanently out of whack. It is also the full TV setting, which is theoretically what the GM method does.
