with my throttle body cable, the other day my car was idling low, so i adjusted it by making the cable tighter via those little screws near that black rubber thing, my car is fine, but my gas pedal gets stuck frequently and i can't press it, i havta stomp on it real hard, and the thing is i drive stick so its becoming a pain in the ass... what should i do... anything i could've done wrong by making it tighter?...??

Replace the cable if its binding.

...and if binding isn't the case, what could be the problem?

well, my guess is that the cable may have worn a groove in the throttle rotor, or something else to do with the throttle rotor.

If the cable is worn you may have to replace it. The screwdriver method may not work.

I had a shift linkage cable that was binding that was blocking out shifts, especially the 2nd to 3rd upshift. Replaced the cables and it shifted like new again, except with my short throw shift kit, which probably caused it to bind after about 60K+ miles of use.

i just recently put on my Neuspeed Shifter adaptor, and within 2 weeks these problems arose... how could the short shifter adaptor cause these problems??

It places and added stress on the cables. If the car already has a lot of miles on it the cables will wear out faster.

Mine took about 60K+ miles to wear out after adding the B&M kit.

you may also try to shoot some wd-40 down the cable (inside)
then work it a little bit.
