Well what i mean the stock accelerator cable has a built in return spring and the idle wonders a little and bascially doesnt return to were i have it set like the return spring is not letting it go back..is there anyway to adjust this cable?

there should be a stop screw someplace, sounds like you might need a new return spring

I think I know what you're talking about and I think the problem is in the carb itself, not the cable or the spring. I've had a couple where no matter what I did I couldn't bring the idle down enough. You' may have to work with the mixture screws to get it where you want it.

Those Edelbrock carbs do that sometimes. Try the mixture screws like he said.
