Default 1992 Throttle Cable Help!!!!

I put new plugs and wires on a 92 six speed car. I had to unbolt the asr and move it to get to the leftside plugs/wires. Now when I started the car it is racing like at 3500 RPMs.

When I moved the ASR did it knock the throttle cable out of adjustment? How do they adjust?

Update,

I found the problem, When I had the asr moved I knocked the cable out of adjustment. There is a reset button on the cable and I pushed it and shorten the cable back to where it was. now the car idles ok and throttle isn't racing anymore.

It's in the middle of the throttle cable.....that thick section in the pic below. A square black button that is not that obvious as a button.
