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:

It's just one of many grounding wires on the car.

Here are a few pictures of how my cruise line is if anyone wants/needs to see it. Where it disappears, it goes towards the block and under the intake manifold (contrary to my previous post).

Good idea, never thought of that. I think I am going to re-route my non cruise cable the same way. Thanks for posting those pics

I'm in a rush to get this done before next weekend. Mitsubishi no longer carries the non-cruise cable. I found one here on slowboy: Slowboy Racing, Inc. :: DSM :: OEM Parts :: Drivetrain :: OEM Non Cruise Throttle Cable (1G & 2G)

But I also heard you can use a non cruise cable of a Hyundai? Does anyone know the part number or year/model for that?

Thanks.

Any cable off a non cruise galant or diamante will work and you can get it for $10 from the junkyard.

Thanks. But with my time constraints, I won't be able to dig through the bone yards. Plus I have a stigma about using used parts from wrecked cars....

Anyone have link to SMT? I called SlowBoy to do a parts check, but they're closed today.

Sorry: quick update.

I was able to locate a warehouse in LA that had the cable under a several inches of dust. So it's ordered and should arrive by Tuesday. I'd still be curious what the Hyundai # is (just as reference for the next person who need to sarch for it).

Thanks for all the responses.

I have had to replace the throttle cable in my 98 eclipse 2 times in the last month any ideas as to what might be causing the problem
