Try DSM.org or Vfaq.com, one or both of those should have an answer for you. You will need to obtain a Non-Cruise Throttle cable though. You could probably get one from a junkyard pretty cheap.

It's pretty easy. Buy a non-cruise throttle cable, just yank out the big cruise control box and the vacuum stuff for it, and put the non-cruise cable in.

I cut the old cable to take it out, but it was pretty easy. Getting the old cable out of the pedal assembly took a couple minutes, but that's not too bad.

I removed my cruise control. One of the best mods I ever did.

I agree, cheapest mod, one of the easiest, nice pedal feel hella room under the hood. GET IT OUTA THERE!

It'll remove about 8 pounds of weight, free up some room under the hood, and it'll make you car feel like a fresh summers breeze all over.

There's a difference in throttle responce?

Huh? Why would that happen?

Because of less cable friction. It has no effect on power, it just feels more responsive. When I did the swap I had to readjust how much pressure I put on the gas pedal because I kept overdoing it.

When i started my car up it idled at 4K rpm, i quickly grabbed the rachet and loosened the tensioner bolts . Yeah much cleaner pedal feel. I can see my rear motor mount now

Becasue your going from 3 throttle cables to one throttle cable.

Yes mine was broken so I removed it, but had it been working I would still have removed it.

The main issue is the crappy design which cause the cable to bind up.
