2003 Buick Century Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2003 Buick Century?

  A: The replacement process for the throttle cable begins with removing the left instrument panel sound insulator. The first step involves detaching the throttle cable which is connected to the accelerator pedal. Then use the throttle cable cover tangs to push the cable through the cowl. Remove the cruise control cable from the throttle body lever and the bracket then disconnect the throttle cable from the retaining clip and throttle body lever and from the throttle cable bracket while keeping detailed note of the cable path. Use the noted routing to install the throttle cable yet keep all flexible parts more than 50 mm (2 in) away from moving parts unless they are securely fastened to avoid interference. Route the throttle cable through the cowl before linking it to the accelerator pedal lever where you should seat the snap retainer. Attaching the throttle cable begins with connecting it to the throttle body lever before it goes to the throttle cable bracket and finishing with the cruise control cable installation between the throttle body lever and bracket. Secure the throttle cable to its holding clip before checking if complete throttle motion activation occurs when using the pedal and confirming the carpet placement under the pedal. Reinstall the left instrument panel sound insulator afterwards.
