Accelerator Cable

[MYYellowTY]

I noticed on DM I was only hitting 82% on TPS when it was floored. So I checked and lots of throttle left by hand.So I guess my Throttle ot Accelerator cable is stretched.None of the local parts stores have a listing.Anypne know where I can order a quality replacement online or a stock # to try the dealer since they said there was no listing either!! :tdown:
Thanks!!!!

Re: Accelerator Cable

You might try this first. First make sure that the pedal is going all the way down, there was alot of talk about this problem a long time ago. The simple solution was to take the pedal arm out and bend it up to where it had more range before hitting the floor. As far as getting a new one :dunno:

Also, I had the problem (not bad as 82%) mine was like 94% and I removed the padding under the carpet right by the gas pedal. Now I get the 100% TPS. Maybe try George Blake, he has tranny cables and might have info for you?

Re: Accelerator Cable

I've fixed it by putting a spacer under the bottom bolt of the pedal attachment (to give more travel) and jury-rigging some grommets under the cable at the TB end. The idea here is to, in effect, make the cable shorter. I now have FULL throttle.

This fix is almost two years old. Checked the other day with my wife holding the pedal down. Still getting full throttle.

Re: Accelerator Cable

Should the throttle be opened all the way.Or just close,seems like all the way is alot of travel.Ill try all these fixes first.

Re: Accelerator Cable

I had the same problem, and I dont remember exactly how, but I know there is a way you can wrap it around the throttle assembly to tighten it up.
