Throttle cable

[SneezyGst]

Hey all,

My throttle cable grounded out last night and welded itself. I looked all night and again this morning and I can't find a replacement to purchase. I find them for 1gs and for Galants but not my 98 gst.

Does anyone know where to purchase a replacement throttle cable? Tia.

I think this is what you need Tia
Does your car have cruise? This is a NON-CRUISE 2g cable.

Did you figure out that the engine wasn't grounded properly so it made a new ground thru your cable? Put some ground wires from the battery to the engine, usually at the starter attachment bolt. Just a tip.

The ground cable from intake to firewall broke. Just an odd situation. I did some added reading on the form because I noticed I never see engine bays with this awful black box. I think the ca8919 is what people recommend to bypass cruise control box

Yes, the 8919 is the non cruise cable. If you need a cruise control cable, post up a WTB ad as a lot of people remove their cruise. There has to be one laying around someone's garage floor!

Tia, dont rely on that little strap from the firewall to get the job done. You should have a dedicated ground cable coming from the battery and attaches at the starter hold down bolt on the trans/engine matting surface where the starter is held onto the motor.

You're cracking me up. TIA= THANKS IN ADVANCE. my name is Rod.

Yes I agree, I'd like to upgrade the ground cable, was just mentioning that it broke off.

Sorry but glad I made ya laugh Rod. Rockauto had that cable in stock when I checked and put an extra ground or 2 to the motor and it will be much happier.
