This thread will be complete with pictures by the end of the week.
I'm doing a write up on this because I needed one and had to figure it out on my own. I wanted to clear up some more of the engine bay and my cruise didn't work properly anyways, so i decided to remove it. The biggest pain was using the old throttle cable mounting bracket on the intake manifold and fabbing it to make the new cable work. I would suggest using a little more heavy duty material than the cheap metal that the stock one is made out of, which i will also be doing by the end of the week. Also note that this write-up is on a 98 Rs.
Tools needed:
12 mm socket wrench
10 mm socket wrench
1 pair needle nose pliers
1 pair pliers
Start by undoing the two bolts that hold the top plate on the throttle cable\cruise cable housing, located on the firewall to the left of the intake manifold. Next undo all the cables that run into that box.
Next, remove the 4 bolts holding the housing to the firewall. Next remove the 2 10mm bolts holding the crusie control unit to the fender well bracket. Once that is gone, you can remove the bracket from the fender well. Remove the bracket holding the cable to the intake manifold. Using the pliers, remove the cable from the bracket. Ditch the cable, save the bracket.
Yay! Now all you should have left is a cable coming out of the firewall right behind your intake manifold. Once I have the pictures uploaded you can see the shape of the bracket and how I bent it. If you're too antsy: Figure it out for yourself. Once the bracket is bent properly, you can bolt it down to the intake manifold and hook up your cable. The stopper at the end of this cable is slightly smaller than the original one, but don't worry, it'll work just fine. Just make sure that the cable isn't rubbing on the side of it's jacket at an angle and that the cable is headed straight on at the groove on the TB's butterfly valve and you're good to go. From there, adjust your throttle cable, and Voila! You're Done.
I left the Relay that was bolted onto the CC housing plugged in. I don't have an extensive enough knowledge in our wiring systems yet to know if that would affect anything.
Fairly Simple I know, especially if you have a Jeep TB that you modded yourself.
