2001 Chevrolet Impala Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2001 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: A replacement of the throttle cable should start by turning OFF the ignition before removing the left instrument panel sound insulator. Routine the throttle cable connection from the accelerator pedal before you push the throttle cable through the bulkhead while squeezing the throttle cable cover tangs. You should begin by removing the throttle cable shield before disconnecting both ends of the throttle cable through its retaining clip and throttle body lever. The next sequence involves disconnecting the cruise control cable from both the throttle cable bracket and the throttle cable bracket. First retrieve the throttle cable while marking down its path throughout the vehicle. Securely fasten all flexible components when installing them to avoid moving parts unless routing them outside of the 50 mm (2 in) safety limit. Follow the routing path when installing the throttle cable before inserting the snap retainer through the bulkhead to connect the throttle cable into the slot of the accelerator pedal lever while seating the snap retainer in the lever. Secure the throttle cable at both points: first to the throttle body lever and then to the throttle cable bracket. Complete the installation with the cruise control cable connected to the throttle cable bracket. Residual components should first receive the throttle cable shield after which you must check full pedal opening and closing while testing throttle operations to verify carpet alignment under the pedal and free throttle function with no binding. The last step involves putting back the left instrument panel sound insulator.
