if you are looking at the throttle from the seat: The throttle cable is the foremost cable and the idle cable is the closest to you.

AND if you were looking at the cables next to the induction module behind your aircleaner: the idle cable will be closer to you, and the throttle cable is behind the "throttle wheel"
