2003 Buick Park Avenue Parts Questions & Experts Answers

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

  A: The first step for Throttle Cable installation requires you to eliminate the left closeout/insulator panel. Twist the accelerator pedal lever to free the Throttle Cable. After that compress the Throttle Cable cover tangs then guide the Throttle Cable through the bulkhead. The next step involves pulling out the Throttle Cable from the retaining clip next to the right department of the washer bottle placement. Disconnect the Throttle Cable from the Throttle Body lever as well as from the Throttle Cable bracket. Installation requires that flexible components should be kept at least 50 mm (2 in) from moving parts unless they are secured properly to avoid interference. The Throttle Cable should be traversed through the bulkhead after which a snap retainer locks it into position. Direct the Throttle Cable through the slot of accelerator pedal lever while verifying that the cable end fitting clicks onto position and rests flush against the lever. Bind the dash panel insulator retainer to the Throttle Cable before pushing the retainer over the cable lever end fitting to make it snap onto the flange of the cable dash fitting while aligning it with the dash mat. Operating the pedal must reveal full throttle opening along with free throttle movement without any contacts or bindings when transitioning between zero throttle to wide open throttle position (WOT). Fasten the Throttle Body lever to its place while inserting the Throttle Cable underneath the hook on the Throttle Body lever. Reinstall the left closeout/insulator panel after connecting the Throttle Cable to the Throttle Cable bracket and the right slot on top of the washer bottle with its retaining clip.
