Throttle Cable issues Hi everyone,
I made a thread in the General Maintenance section but not getting anything...
Figured I'd try here next.
So my throttle cable plastic tabs recently broke and I'm trying to find a way to get it setup with being able to keep both the TCS & Cruise Control.
I wanted to see what alternatives I had like aftermarket or universal.
I have a 99 with the part discontinued...

So if its the slotted part that's coming apart, then you'll either have to find a used one that's not broke, or get creative and modify you broken one so it'll stay in place.
Sorry, that's the same options I had several yrs ago when mine came apart, I just got lucky and found one on Ebay.
BTW, If I come up with any other possible options I'll let you know.

Yeah as a temporary solution, I'm going to super glue it all together.
It was just the left tab that broke off...
I've hopefully found a replacement one, do you know how easy it is to remove that cable portion from the TCS box?

Well, I had to drive my car to work and saw the last tab had broken.
Everything seemed alright on the way TO work, but when I was leaving and got in the car, the moment I tapped the gas after putting it into drive it shot to 1100rpm and I had to limp her home that way...
Does anyone know of an alternative method to keep the TCS/Cruise Control?...
I'll switch to a 00-04 Throttle body and get a newer cable if I have to, but eventually those will be discontinued and out of stock too....
Anyone have any ideas? :\
