Throttle Cable Problem

[dukhunter20]

I'm not sure if this is the same problem as a previous thread, but I need to know how to repair this, or replace it. I am not sure what the part is called and if Pelican supplies them.




Thanks for any help, and sorry if this is a repeat.

I know it is part of the throttle linkage, it caused the throttle to get stuck at about 4500 rpm. Anybody know what this is called?

Looks like the cruise control cable.

You don't have a throttle cable on an SC, it is a solid linkage. The cruise control is cable actuated, with the cable running from above the throttle body to a black cannister looking thing outboard of the left shock tower.

Is this it?



Your servo probably looks a little different, as the cable isn't attached in this photo.

If you don't use your cruise control, you can just remove the cable. If you do, use it, Pelican carries the replacement.

Are you sure it was the cable causing the problem, and not the cruise control? Holding the engine at a specific RPM is kind of its job.

Awesome thats what it is. What happened was, I tried the cruise control to see if would work on the highway, it didn't seem like it was working. I arrived at my destination and turned the engine off. Got back in started to go back to my house, as soon as I left the highway the rpm was staying at about 4500 when I had it in nuetral or when i put in the clutch. Got it home eventually and noticed that the cable (cruise control) was keeping the throttle body open. Got the cable unstuck and it fixed the idle rpm (duhh). So thats got to be it.

Thanks for the info. If I choose to remove it, does the whole servo come out with it or should i leave that in place?
