Q: How to replace the throttle cable on Buick LeSabre?
A: Start the Throttle Cable replacement by taking out the left closeout/insulator panel. Pull the Throttle Cable from the accelerator pedal lever before you press and compress the Throttle Cable cover tangs until the cable passes through the bulkhead. The Throttle Cable removal process begins with extracting it from the retaining clip and from the right slot located above the washer bottle. Detach the Throttle Cable endpoints by removing it from the Throttle Body lever and the Throttle Cable bracket. The installation for the Throttle Cable requires passing it through the bulkhead but flexible components must stay at least 50 mm (2 inches) distant from moving parts or should have secure attachments. The snap retainer should enter the bulkhead followed by the slot on the accelerator pedal lever so the cable end fitting forms a tight connection against the accelerator pedal lever. Push the dash panel insulator retainer onto the cable lever end fitting while aligning its flange area to the cable dash fitting until the retainer snaps into place on the dash mat. Operate the pedal to verify that the throttle moves from minimum to maximum positions while the mechanism functions without restricting its movement. The Throttle Body lever needs to receive the Throttle Cable installation with the cable positioned correctly under its hook. New steps include connecting the Throttle Cable first to the Throttle Cable bracket and then to the right slot on top of the washer bottle before applying the retaining clip.
Q: How to replace the throttle cable on Buick Century?
A: Start the replacement of the throttle cable by first turning OFF the ignition key and then taking out the left instrument panel sound insulator. The procedure starts when you remove the throttle cable connection at the pedal, after which you should push and stretch the throttle cable cover tangs to gain access. First detach the cruise control cable from the throttle body lever while removing the throttle cable shield when equipped. First detach the throttle cable from its retaining clip then disconnect it from the throttle body lever along with the throttle cable bracket. Remove the cable from the vehicle keeping track of the routing path. Flexible parts of the installation require secure attachment outside a 50-mm (2-in) boundary from moving components to prevent any interference between them. Put the throttle cable in the designated route and install the snap retainer through the bulkhead opening. Connect the throttle cable into the slot of the throttle pedal lever before seating the snap retainer. You must install the throttle cable to the throttle body lever along with the throttle cable bracket before routing the cruise control cable to the throttle body lever. Reinstall the throttle cable shield only when the system includes this component after connecting the cable to its retaining clip. Operate the throttle pedal while examining whether the throttle opens and closes entirely without incidents by checking freedom of motion throughout the range. Reinstall the left instrument panel sound insulator.
Q: How to replace the throttle cable on Buick Regal?
A: The injector sight shield and left instrument panel sound insulator need to be removed before initiating work on the throttle cable. Gently pull the throttle cable through the bulkhead by squeezing the cable cover tangs and pushing the cable through the wall. Proceed by detaching the cable from both the retaining clip and throttle body lever before unfastening it from the throttle cable bracket and removing it from the vehicle while inspecting its necessary routing. Flexible components must remain at least 50 mm (2 in) distance from moving parts because this space protects against damages during installation. Operation of the throttle must remain unhindered when moving from closed position to wide open throttle (WOT). Apply the throttle cable starting from the verified pathway and push it through the bulkhead while inserting the snap retainer onto the bulkhead. Attach the throttle cable into the slot of the accelerator pedal lever before seating the snap retainer. The complete throttle motion range should be checked through accelerator pedal operation to ensure no carpet interference at the pedal position. After connecting these two components you should install the throttle cable into its retention clip. The procedure ends with reinstalling the left instrument panel sound insulator together with the injector sight shield.
