Hey guys. So Ive been looking around for a cruise control to non cruise control write up with pictures. I haven't found one (maybe I didn't look hard enough) so I decided to make one. This is my first write up so feel free to critique me, any information helps. Thanks
This mod was done on a 1992 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX

Step 6: Back to the cruise control box. There are 3 bolts bolted into the fire wall. The bolts are in a triangle pattern. You are able to see the top bolt in the picture. Unbolt them now. When they are unbolted, unhook the wiring connector to the electrical cruise control unit.

Step 7: I don't know what this is called, but remove it. Its connected to the cruise control. There are 2 bolts holding it down.

Step8: Now, everything should be unbolted except the throttle cable going to the gas pedal. Unbolt those 2 bolts holding down the bracket on the firewall.

Step 10: Lay down inside your car in the drivers floor board. Look up at the gas pedal. You will see a cable with a round ball at the end. Holding it into the pedal is that yellow duck bill type clip. To remove this clip all you have to do in squeeze it together and push it through the gas pedal hole. Once it is out, push the cable up and out through the slot on the gas pedal. Go back under the hood and remove the bracket off the fire wall that was attached to the pedal.

Step 12: Now reinstall cable MB539465 Into the firewall hole and bolt it down using the 2 bolts. Re attach it to the gas pedal and push the duck bill clip into the hole so it cant slide out.

Step 16: Check cable tightness by moving bracket back and forth. Make it tight enough that there is no slack in the line but not tight enough for the rpms to raise. I did this with the car running.

So, just kind of tuck it under the intake manifold? Also, should I re-post it in that section?

BTW, I love your engine bay. :)
