WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 7 other vehicles, including the 1989 Mitsubishi Van, 1989 Mitsubishi Starion, 1989 Mitsubishi Sigma, 1989 Mitsubishi Precis, and 1989 Mitsubishi Pickup. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Measure gap between inner cable stopper and cover end with throttle valve fully open. See Fig 1.
If gap is not within 2.05-2.09" (52.1-53.1 mm), adjust inner cable bracket. Tighten cable bracket bolts to 96-112 INCH lbs. (10-14 N.m).
