okay so Im leaving base my engine starting tapping out on the rev limiter with no thorttle. SO I shut it down when I started troubleshooting. I noticed a black plastic peice on the firewall was snapped. So I held it in place and my friend lightly revved it and it was back to normal but I have to replace this peice does anybody know what its called or how much this peice is???

 

any pics?

 

pics ?

 

the pic I have of my engine bay the part is cut off
...its a plastic piece on the firwall that allwos the cable to pass through....

 

Bump for a fellow Air Warfare Qualified

 

You're talking about the throttle cable hole in the firewall right? just go to a junkyard and get one.

 

yeah the throttle cable hole.....I need a quick fix till wedsday all shops are closed

 

Try Using Vice grips to hold the cable Hillbilly Style lol

 

YEAH!!! anything smaller though I tried using a small hose clamp but that didn't work. I guess vice grips will work..'

I tried using duct tape..it didn't work
you know the saying if you cant duct it F%$# it

Ya but that cable wants to move back and forth when u step on it so im thinking Vice Grips would work but dont clamp down too hard u just want to hold the outside cable not the cable inside

 

no the cable goes through a housing which plugs into the firewall this snapped making the cable slack which is making it rev high and not de accelerating....but if i clamp the housing the cable will still be able to move and will hold it at the right angle for no slack....I was also thinking about tightneing the bracket so tight that there is no slack in the calee but I odnt know if this would work or would it idle right I guess ill try the vice grips

Let me know how it works

 

hey got another question...if i rder a new throttle cable will this peice include with it or is it separate

 

It should come with it my cousin ordered one and were waiting to find out as well

 

it comes with the piece

 

I tried the vice grips the plastic piece is not the problem..
the wire is birdcaging inside the rubber sheath not allowing it to drop back down to idle

 

what kind of motor is it on?
i have a 98 dx one that you can have since it is christmas.

 

ZIP TIES FTW

 

Its a GSR I went to the junk yard and picked one up for 30 bucks and also got a one piece black headlights also...then a 00 GSR rolls in theft recovery hooked up guy is elling it to me for 2500....YAY

 

which junk yard did you go to?
