• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2001 Buick Park Avenue?

  A: The replacement process for the Throttle Cable should start with removing the left closeout/insulator panel. First detach the Throttle Cable from the accelerator pedal lever before you squeeze the Throttle Cable cover tangs to push the Throttle Cable through the bulkhead. The next step involves pulling out the Throttle Cable first from the retaining clip and then from the right slot on top of the washer bottle. The Throttle Cable requires detachment from the Throttle Body lever then from the Throttle Cable bracket during this process. Flexible components must receive secure fastening before getting routed within 2 in (50 mm) distance from moving equipment. Aim the Throttle Cable through the bulkhead followed by inserting the snap retainer through the bulkhead. Pass the Throttle Cable through the slot on the accelerator pedal lever so that the cable end fitting securely snaps into position while sitting flush with the lever. Connect the dash panel insulator retainer to the Throttle Cable before slipping it over the cable lever end fitting and allowing it to lock into position on the cable dash fitting while keeping the retainer flat against the dash mat surface. After checking that the engine throttle moves without restriction from full stop to wide open position you should inspect the carburetor fit under the accelerator pedal. First verify that the cable lies properly under the hook in the Throttle Body lever after which you should install the Throttle Cable to the Throttle Body lever before installing a Throttle Cable to the Throttle Cable bracket which should be followed by the cable placement on the right slot above the washer bottle and its retaining clip. Install the left closeout/insulator panel as the final step.
