You may have a buildup of gunk in the throttle cable, causing the cable to be kinda sticky inside, which makes it hard for the spring on your throttle body to pull all of the slack out. You may want to disconnect the cable from the throttle body and try squirting liberal amounts of WD 40 on the cable, focus trying to get the WD 40 inside the cable housing or tube. Then try and work the cable back and forth to loosen up the gunk inside.

If its moving freely and there is still slack in the line then you may need to re-adjust your cable or double check the way it's routed around your gas pedal. You might have missed hooking it around something.

Do you have a repair manual, like Chiltons or Hayes? One of those will help you to see how its supposed to be installed.
