• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2001 Cadillac Eldorado?

  A: The first step to replace a Throttle Cable is to take off the left closeout/insulator panel. The process of replacing the Throttle Cable begins by dislodging it from the accelerator pedal then using force on the cable cover tangs to feed the cable into the bulkhead. The next step involves disconnection of the Throttle Cable from its bracket position and its position on the throttle body lever. Prior to installation check that flexible components avoid moving part areas within 50 mm (2 in) except when securely mounted to avoid interference. The installation demands direct routing of the Throttle Cable through the groove of the throttle body lever and proper cable seat positioning. Position the Throttle Cable to connect with the throttle body lever and also fasten it to the Throttle Cable bracket. The cable needs to pass beneath the Brake Master Cylinder before entering the dash area where you should mount the retainer near the accelerator pedal. Connect the Throttle Cable to the accelerator pedal as the last step. Check full throttle movement by pedaling the accelerator pedal while verifying throttle movements are without resistance and automatic in opening and closing action after complete installation. Reinstall the left closeout/insulator panel.
