You want the cable to be nice and flat there pointing at the throttle body, not pointing down at it. The one in my '90 was bent, so I just smacked it with a hammer until the cable was sitting flatter and closer to the valve cover, and it actually made a difference. Maybe it will work for you too. Good luck!
It doesn't look bent. It appears to be pointing directly at the TB. I'm about to take the intake off and spray it down with cleaner.
