2G Throttle Cable Wear/Failure

[Tessoffd]

Hello, Guys and Gals:


I recently had a problem with my 1997 Eclipse GST. The throttle cable has worn itself to the point of failure. I read just about all of the threads on this topic, and only a few actually dealt with failure altogether. I need to know where to get a new one, and I'd like to avoid getting ripped off by the dealership (satan as I've seen people refer)! No local parts stores even have a way of finding the part. No local junkyard even has ANY DSM whatsoever (personally, I think it's just lazy customer service). I followed a few links from other threads, but they are old and outdated/website doesn't exist anymore. The cable that connects from the gas pedal to the pulley system is begining to fray as well. (This is a cruise control setup).


Thanks in advance! Love the site.

This place has the cheapest oem prices I've seen. Or check ebay, classifieds, etc.

Or you could just remove the cruise control system and install a non-cruise cable. It definitely clears up a lot of space in the engine bay.
