That would be correct. Dont tighten the throttle cable.
Adjust idle w/ engine warm & no electronics ON

Need Idle Adjustment Please

I recently aquired a 1988 Honda Accord. The mechanic that I talked to told me to adjust the idle by adjusting the throtle cable. Now this guy is pretty smart, so I listened to him. Turns out that the cable adjusting nuts were very loose (1/4" loose per side). So I adjusted it using that.

Went to get my emmissions tested today, and had to leave because when I got there, the car MYSTERIOUSLY started idling at 2000 RPM. Before that, it was 3000 RPM. I came home and re re readjusted the idle. Now it is doing pretty good, but it tends to die when I switch the A/C on and off.

NOW I look under the breatheronly to find that there is yet another mystery adjustment screw on the left side of the carb. I am at a loss here. Can anybody shed some light on what all of these adjustment screws are for? (View described is facing engine from front of car)

Thanks, Llackej1971

you dont adjust the idle by turning the throttle cable. Adjusting the throttle cable is for removing any free-play. Adjust the idle with Idle Adjustment Screw - probably the one your talkin about.
