Veraciousreasoning Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 (edited) Hey all Anyone got a step by step on how to change out a throttle cable? I checked the Haynes manual and FSM and nothing. 1980 720 4x4 Edited July 25, 2023 by Veraciousreasoning Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 Under the dash, detach the clip holding the ball end of the cable from the pedal. Under hood, remove the two 10mm? bolts holding the throttle cable to the fire wall. On intake unscrew the cable length adjustment. Have a care as screw and clip will separate from the holder bolted to the intake. On Carburetor, by hand open the throttle and detach the other end of the cable. Cable assembly should be free to be removed. Quote Link to comment

Veraciousreasoning Posted July 25, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 That is my old throttle cable. I can see the clip broke. Is it missing anything else cause the new one is the same but the clip isn't broken Quote Link to comment

Thomas Perkins Posted July 26, 2023 Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 (edited) Get a pioneer cable.It's what I use.42 bucks at Auto Zone.Rock Auto Parts has them for 40 bucks but you have to pay for shipping.On my original Nissan one the rubber piece broke apart at the carb.

Veraciousreasoning Posted July 26, 2023 Author Report Share Posted July 26, 2023 So the clip was different broken. Put the new throttle cable on put the clip in and it works now. Quote Link to comment
