• Q: How to replace the throttle cable on 2005 Chevrolet Silverado 1500?

  A: Replacing the accelerator controls cable starts by removing the air cleaner outlet resonator followed by disconnecting the accelerator cable slug from the throttle body pulley along with removing the accelerator cable from both the accelerator control bracket and engine bracket. The next step involves taking out the knee bolster from the driver side and unseating the retainer from the pedal lever of the accelerator. The touchpoints of accelerator cable tangs should be squeezed before you force the cable through the front of the dash. To install the accelerator cable start by passing it through the dash opening from the front while making sure the accelerator cable cover tangs nest correctly into position. Put the accelerator cable into the slot on the accelerator pedal lever and position the accelerator cable retainer properly in place on the lever. The driver side knee bolster receives reinstallation while also connecting the accelerator cable between the accelerator control bracket and engine bracket followed by an attachment of the accelerator cable slug to the throttle body pulley before reinstalling the air cleaner outlet resonator.
