I was told that after the fact that my friend messed with it. He just turned it one turn I think. What could this mess up?

My friend that had a TL at the time did it to mine. I wasn't aware at the time of what it actually did (fail on my part). I'll set it back this afternoon probably.

are you sure he didn't tighten the throttle cable

youd would get better throttle response and it would probably appear louder, do to you not having to push the gas down as far to accelerate and the RPMs going up quicker compared to before (I dont know if that made sense) LOL

Ok, if theres slack I can understand that, even though the correct procedure is replacing the throttle cable.

I'm not really sure, don't really pay much attention to it. I'll check it out and post tomorrow.

No way, easy peasy. The hardest part is climbing under the dash to disconnect it.

Climbing under the dash is what im talking about

normal is 750 give or take 50 rpm. its higher when the engine is cold. you should measure the idle rpm with no eletrical load but it sounds normal.

Deep noise? Check your VTEC fluid, might be low.
