2000 Buick Century Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2000 Buick Century?

  A: Begin replacing the throttle cable by switching OFF the ignition followed by removing the left instrument panel sound insulator. You should disconnect the throttle cable from the accelerator pedal before pushing the throttle cable through the bulkhead by squeezing the throttle cable cover tangs. First detach the throttle cable shield when present and then disconnect the cable from both its retaining clip and throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket. Write down how the cable runs during your removal of the throttle cable from the motorized vehicle. Installation should include a rule that flexible parts must not pass through 50 mm (2 in) proximity to moving elements without proper attachment to stop damaging or creating interference. The installation of the throttle cable should follow the noted route before inserting the snap retainer through the bulkhead. Guide and fix the throttle cable into the slot of the accelerator pedal lever before installing the snap retainer into position on the accelerator pedal lever. Attach the throttle cable to the throttle body lever then the throttle cable bracket before concluding it with the retaining clip. Check complete throttle movement by testing the pedal operation while verifying that the shield can be refitted if present and there is no insufficient carpet space under the pedal. Check the throttle operation for unrestricted movement between full closed stance and wide open position before you replace the left instrument panel sound insulator.
