• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2005 Chevrolet Monte Carlo?

  A: Left instrument panel sound insulator removal must be followed by unfastening the throttle cable from its connection to the accelerator pedal. A piece of mechanics wire serves to help install the new cable by reaching through the cowl using the throttle cable cover tangs. Begin by removing the throttle cable shield followed by detaching the throttle cable from its retaining clip together with disconnecting the cruise control cable from both the throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket. First remove the throttle cable from its position on the throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket before taking out both the mechanics wire and the cable. The mechanics wire installation must occur by affixing it to the new cable with caution to avoid routing flexible components inside 50 mm (2 in) proximity of mobile parts unless proper fasteners are in place to stop possible interference. Follow the previous throttle cable routing for the installation while the mechanics wire should stay outdoors the cowl area. Connect the throttle cable with all its components to both the accelerator pedal lever and throttle body lever and throttle cable bracket. Reinstall the cruise control cable elsewhere on both the throttle cable bracket and the throttle body lever following removal of the throttle cable shield when present. Secure the throttle cable into its retaining clip and verify complete throttle range activation by testing the pedal motion and then make sure carpeting fits beneath the pedal properly and the throttle works freely without resistance. The final step involves placing back the sound insulator found on the left instrument panel.
