2002 Buick Rendezvous Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The procedure starts with taking out the throttle cable shield when present before detaching the throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket from the cable. The next task requires removal of the left instrument panel sound insulator followed by disconnecting the throttle cable at the accelerator pedal. Removal of the throttle cable requires compressing the throttle cable cover tangs and pushing it through the bulkhead before removing the cable while recording installation directions. When installing the components be sure flexible parts avoid 50 mm (2 in) proximity to moving parts by using secure attachments to prevent damage and interference. Install the throttle cable according to the noted path while inserting the snap retainer through the bulkhead until it reaches the slot on the accelerator pedal lever and settle the snap retainer inside its position. Insert the throttle cable to both the throttle body lever and the throttle cable bracket followed by reinstallation of the throttle cable shield if present. Before installing the left instrument panel sound insulator it is essential to first verify both throttle positions while operating the accelerator pedal and ensure proper carpet fit emerges below the pedal.
