2000 Chevrolet Impala Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The replacement process for the throttle cable begins by turning OFF the ignition followed by removing the left instrument panel sound insulator. Press the accelerator pedal to disconnect its cable then push the covered throttle cable through the bulkhead by compressing its tangs. Wrench operators should first remove the throttle cable shield but then disconnect the cable from its retaining clip and throttle body lever before releasing it from the throttle cable bracket. Note down the cable path when you take out the throttle cable from the vehicle. Secure all flexible components which need to be routed in areas no closer than 50 mm (2 in) to moving parts to prevent damage and interference. The installation begins with using the routed course for the throttle cable before guiding the snap retainer through the bulkhead. Place the throttle cable into the slot of the accelerator pedal lever then settle the snap retainer within the accelerator pedal lever. After installing the throttle body lever you should connect the throttle cable next then fasten it into the retaining clip. Reinstall the throttle cable shield only if vehicle has it, afterward inspect full throttle range by moving the pedal to check carpet does not obstruct pedal movement. Check throttle freedom during both limited and maximum positions before reinstalling the left instrument panel sound insulator.
