• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier?

  A: The first step to replace the Throttle Cable requires removing the left sound insulator and release cable retainer from the pedal assembly. Use your fingers to depress the cable tangs before pushing the cable toward the engine compartment. Once the cable retaining clip is removed, pull out the cable from the push-clip. Before cable replacement you should depress the tangs to let the cruise control cable pass through the cable bracket then detach the cable from the cam. The cable should run through the cable bracket before pressing it upward to let the tangs expand and settle correctly. Begin by reinstituting the cruise control cable into the push-in clip before you secure it with the cable retaining clip which should be tightened to 10 n.m (89 lb in). Guide the cable through the cowl before putting the Throttle Cable into the slot of the rod and secure the retainer into the rod while making sure the rod fits correctly. The installation of hoses, wires and conduits must meet specified positive control criteria before they can be placed inside a 50 mm (2.0 in) area surrounding moving throttle linkage components that extend beyond the support. Ensure the throttle valve operates to wide open throttle position after opening and closing operations by testing the throttle pedal. Check component and bracket integrity as well as evaluate the throttle pedal area carpet before installing the left sound insulator.
