Alright today I was fitting my custom intercooler piping when I got into an argument with a fellow worker and dropped the pipe on the positive termial of the battery and the throttle cable going from the cruise box to the throttle body. Now my car starts but I cant push the gas pedal down cause its obviously arc welded somewhere and I need help on what to do?? Any help would be awesome for this is my dd and I need her back :thumb:

Try and find one in the boneyard or replace it with a none cruise control cable.
 
I appreciate the help, sounds like im going to be just going to go get a nt cruise cable cause there is no other way for me to fix this without fabbing up something. I thought Id be able to just use the cable that goes from firewall to cruise box but I guess not, if this is possible someone hit me up please
 
Just got back from national city down in diego and got my nt cruise control throttle cable. Now I just gotta put it on as soon as work is over. :thumb:
 
NT cable worked like a charm, it actually feels a lot better driving the car, I dont know if maybe the cruise unit was doing something to my gas pedal before since I removed half the system a while ago or what cause the it feels like pushing on a soft and I mean soft pillow now instead of having to push on it hard :thumb: Thanks for the help everyone the install was easy and strait forward. Pretty much idiot proof.
