2003 Chevrolet Impala Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2003 Chevrolet Impala?

  A: The replacement of the throttle cable begins with removing the left instrument panel sound insulator before detaching the throttle cable from the accelerator pedal. A piece of mechanics wire will help guide the cable installation by compressing the throttle cable cover tangs so the cable passes through the cowl. Remove the shield wrapping around the throttle cable and unhook the cable from its retaining clip followed by removing the cruise control cable from both throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket. The installation begins with removing the throttle cable from its positions on the throttle body lever and the throttle cable bracket before removing the mechanics wire and the cable. The installation process requires fastening the mechanics wire onto a new cable with absolute adherence to route flexible components at least 50 mm (2 in) from moving parts unless complete secure attachment exists to avoid possible interference. The new throttle cable should receive its installation route from the initial removal process and must pass through the cowl before eliminating the mechanics wire. Position the throttle cable first to the accelerator pedal lever and then to throttle body lever before you secure it with the throttle cable bracket. Both the throttle cable bracket and throttle body lever have the cruise control cable reattached while the throttle cable shield is installed if the vehicle is equipped. After securing the throttle cable to its retaining clip examine the complete throttle range when operating the accelerator pedal while ensuring free movement without binding. Add the left instrument panel sound insulator.
