2004 Buick Regal Throttle Cable Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2004 Buick Regal?

  A: Start the throttle cable replacement procedure by removing first the fuel injector sight shield and the left instrument panel sound insulator. The throttle cable must be separated from the pedal while mechanics wire should be attached to its end for easier cable installation work. Pull the throttle cable through the bulkhead after squeezing its tangs and locate the cable between the retaining clip and throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket. Check the cable pathway then remove its mechanics wire. Secure the mechanics wire to the new throttle cable for installation only when the pre-defined routing from removal has been achieved while keeping all exposed parts at minimum 50 mm (2 in) from moving components unless they are fully attached. The bulkhead provides a passage for the cable which must be fastened using the snap retainer. Replace the mechanics wire with the cable which needs to be fastened to the throttle pedal and throttle body lever with throttle cable bracket using its retaining clip. Operation of the throttle pedal must be checked for full throttle functions while confirming fluid pedal movement without any restrictions. After completing the final steps install the left instrument panel sound insulator together with the fuel injector sight shield.
