I can find in the FSM where it details adjusting the throttle cable, but not the accelerator cable. Can someone give me the rundown on that?

Shown here, is what is marked as accelerator cable here what you are calling kick down?What is an accelerator cable? You have a throttle cable which is run by the gas pedal or throttle body. You have a kick down cable from throttle body to transmission. You have a cruise control cable from control to throttle.

Finally someone who knows what they are talking about! I’ll go back to my corner.Accelerator cable goes to the accelerator pedal.
Throttle cable (kick down) goes to transmission.
This is great, thanks. Any wisdom on the accelerator cable? Should it be slack? Barely taut? Some other way of determining correct adjustment?The FSM adjustment can be deceiving, my old 270k mile cable needed to be tightened to about 2mm to get the throttle cable to kick down without having to mash the pedal to the floor.
