2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2002 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: The process to replace a throttle cable starts by taking out the left instrument panel sound insulator before detaching the throttle cable from the accelerator pedal. The installation of new cables requires mechanics wire to squeeze the throttle cover tangs which will direct the cable into the cowl space. Cable replacement necessitates the removal of the shield and the throttle cable detachment from its retaining clip as well as detachment of the cruise control cable from both throttle body lever and the throttle cable bracket. You should remove the throttle cable from the throttle body lever while also removing it from the throttle cable bracket but remember the original throttle cable routing. Install the new cable by applying the mechanics wire according to the removal routing pattern. Install the throttle cable through the cowl then detach the mechanics wire before connecting the throttle cable with the accelerator pedal lever and the throttle body lever and lastly fixing it to the throttle cable bracket. Attach first the cruise control cable to the throttle body lever followed by the throttle cable bracket. Then install the throttle cable shield only when present. Secure the throttle cable to the retaining clip as you check that the throttle moves without restrictions at both its closed and wide-open positions. Inspect the throttle pedal carpet fit before reinstalling the left instrument panel sound insulator.
