2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2004 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: The replacement of the Throttle Cable starts with removing the left instrument panel sound insulator before detaching the cable from the accelerator pedal. And for installing the new cable use a mechanics wire to press the Throttle Cable cover tangs into the cowl opening. Remove first the Throttle Cable shield when equipped then disconnect the Throttle Cable from its retaining clip together with the cruise control cable between the Throttle Body lever and the Throttle Cable bracket. Detach the Throttle Cable from the Throttle Body lever and the Throttle Cable bracket before proceeding with removal. Note the cable routing since you will need it during reinstallation. The mechanics wire should be removed first before attaching it to the new cable while following the routing routes previously marked during cable separation. First pass the Throttle Cable through the cowl before discarding the mechanics wire to allow connection of the Throttle Cable to both the accelerator pedal lever and the Throttle Body lever. Fasten the Throttle Cable against the Throttle Cable bracket before mounting the cruise control cable between the Throttle Cable bracket and Throttle Body lever. After installing the Throttle Cable shield the technician must connect the Throttle Cable to its retaining clip. Throttle operation must be thoroughly checked after reinstalling the left instrument panel sound insulator by operating the accelerator pedal to verify that proper carpet fits under the pedal and to confirm that throttle operations occur freely without any binding between fully closed and wide open positions.
