2002 Buick Regal Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2002 Buick Regal?

  A: The procedure starts with fuel injector sight shield removal along with left instrument panel sound insulator before cable replacement. The throttle cable removal requires you to disconnect it from the pedal while attaching mechanics wire to the cable terminus for later reconnect. Use a pair of pliers to squeeze the throttle cable cover tangs before pushing the cable through the bulkhead. Remove the cable from its retaining clip and throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket. Check the cable pathway before taking away the mechanics wire. The installation process requires connecting the mechanics wire to the new throttle cable and following the original removal route but keeping all moving parts at least 50 mm (2 in) away unless the wire is securely fastened. Guide the cable into the bulkhead opening while fastening it with the plastic snap restrictor. You can now join the cable to the throttle pedal, throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket using retaining clips. Check the throttle works properly without bindings then examine complete pedal functions while testing full throttle position and checking for an improper carpet position beneath. Reinstall both the left instrument panel sound insulator and the fuel injector sight shield at this point.
