Throttle Body cable sticking - Acura Forum

chaaalieboy · 03-30-08, 09:41 PM

I installed a new throttle body but now the cable's sticking. I think the cable might be too long because it has a type-r pulley set up, and when i wiggle the cable the throttle moves up and down.

How do i fix it?

Thanks in Advance

since no one else has any ideas i throw out this one. try tieing some knots in your cable were its not touching anything that would shorten it

well man mine is slightly loose as well, but that's cuase I had an aftermarket throttle rotor installed, made by weapon r and its slightly oversized, made from billet aluminum. u can use the piece on the end of the cable to tighten it up as I have to do.
