Hello! I'm new to the forum here and I'm looking for assistance with something. I added a 92MM throttle body to my 5.3L Silverado and to do so I had to add a throttle body adapter plate. This plate allows a 4 bolt throttle body to attach to a 3 bolt intake. The plate added about 1/2" spacer between the intake and TB and now my throttle cable is too short. Once routed through the cable bracket the TB valve does not shut all the way causing my idle to hover around 2000 rpm's.

There does not seem to be a way to adjust the cable any to accommodate for this little bit of extra wire needed. Does anyone have any ideas???

 

No slack in the cable assembly?

 

i've taken up whatever slack was available and it's still to short.

 

 

cutting, bending and grinding what? Are you referring to the cable bracket?

 

That's what I would do. Redesign the cable bracket to mover it forward about 1/2". Couldn't be that hard. Even easier if you have a welder.

 

A universal cable kit would work. Not too expensive if you can still use the bracket and hardware!
