• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2000 Cadillac DeVille?

  A: The first step to replace the Throttle Cable requires disconnecting it first from the throttle controls bracket and second from the throttle body lever. The next step involves disconnecting the Throttle Cable from the retainer located on the dash panel (bulkhead). While unscrewing the retainer you should squeeze the Throttle Cable cover tangs to push it through the dash panel (bulkhead). The left closeout insulator panel requires removal before you disconnect the Throttle Cable from the throttle controls pedal to remove the entire cable. Installation must not allow flexible material to travel closer than 50 mm (2 in) to any movable element. Install the Throttle Cable through the groove of throttle body lever before securing it in position. Before installing the Throttle Cable it should be connected at the throttle controls cable bracket and its path should lead over the Brake Master Cylinder then through the dash. The technician must install and secure the Throttle Cable components at both the retainer on the dash (bulkhead) and at the throttle controls pedal. Operation of the throttle controls pedal requires a complete checkup on throttle motion to confirm no restrictions exist between minimum and maximum positions before removing the left closeout insulator panel.
