Re-routing Non Cruise Control Throttle Cable

[kmoore]

Is this alright routing this throttle cable behind (instead of under) the IM and not bolt it down. Meaning there is no brackets (like there were on top of the fuel rail) bracing the Throttle Cable to the fire wall. There is no binding or rubbing anywhere. Here are some pictures:

Yep! I have my non-cruise cable installed the same way. Since the actual throttle cable is inside the black outer covering, you will experience no issues with it.

Can you please explain better, I dont understand how you are doing it with the pictures.

 

[gixrman]

I think he means he wants it to turn to the right instead of left.

If the cable is pointing in the other direction, how can it pull the butterfly open??

So if you do the non cruise cable, and you take the cruise control box out, you just run it into the throttle body or what? I have never done anything like this, but the flipping it does make sense. Is there a way to do this without the non cruise cable as well?

The throttle cable stays attached to the firewall like it always is - the cable points towards the pass. side of the car. All he changed is where the cable routes. Instead of routing it up over the intake manifold and run along the fuel rail, he just stuffed it below the intake manifold. It still functions like normal, you just don't see the cable on the top.

Yes, the cable just runs from the pedal, through the firewall, straight to the throttle body. You still bolt the cable down to the intake manifold like normal. You could probably do this with a cruise control cable too (the one that goes from the cruise control box to the tb) - the only limiting factor would be the length.

Bingo. I was just asking if I need to brace the cable some way.

Thank you.

And yes, this is a non CC cable and I don't believe that you can use your factory CC cable for a cruise control delete (as shown in my pictures).

Nope. Just let 'er hang down there.

Gotcha, that was one of the best mods I did to clean up the engine bay.

I really can't see how it's routed because of the darkeness. How exactly is it routed, behind or under the IM?

It is more behind the intake manifold. When I pick up my car, I'll try to get a good shot of mine to show how it's routed.

 

[alex99gst]

I routed mine under the fuel rail and have not had any issues at all. It keeps the cable out of the way and cleans the engine bay up even more than the cable alone.

 

[DontStartModdin]

I have mine routed the same way....No problems.

 

[kmoore]

Yeah, I know its hard to tell from the pictures. I just kind of dropped it behind the IM.

Hey Kyle, do you have a Mitsu Part # for that throttle cable?

Nice

 

[blcknspo0ln]

Yup, I have mine routed under the intake manifold as per someone's suggestion. I can't believe I never thought about it! It definitely makes everything look a lot better.

 

[Strm Trpr]

Did you guys notice better throttle response?
My friend did the cruise control delete on his 1gb, and I noticed a significant difference.

 

[turbosax2]

He probably just didn't have the cable adjusted properly before he swapped it out.

 

[Strm Trpr]

I thought you might say that.

 

[always_broken]

I finally did it, btw, what do you have grounded on the cable mount bracket?

 

[turbosax2]

That ground wire usually goes to the firewall. It's a factory ground wire that you can attach anywhere on the im.

Exactly. It's from the firewall and I just connected it to the stock location (throttle cable plate). What it is exactly? I have no idea.
