Icon2 Sticky throttle - Where to get a new throttle cable

Hi there.

My CIVIC ED7, 1991, Engine D16A9 has a throttle that sticks and I'm pretty sure it's the throttle cable.

I'm having a hard time finding a new, correct cable (some ebay sellers won't ship to denmark)

My questions are these

1) Do you know where I could buy a replacement throttle cable online?

2) I've found some throttle cables through an online local scrapyard but i'm not sure if they'll work for me. Maybe someone knows the range of years/models that use the same cable?

Here's two I found:

HTML Code:
#1
OEM #:  		JHMEC83200S207621
Year:			1990
Type:			HONDA CIVIC EC/ED 88-91
Engine code:	D13B2
Engine type:	1.3HC3K
Condition:		B

#2
OEM #:  		JHMEJ954OWS000591
Year:			1989
Type:			HONDA CIVIC EC/ED 88-91
Engine code:	D14A1
Engine type:	1.4HC4
Condition:		B
Thanks in advance.

Regards, Victor

Even though your not in the states you may want to try using the Oreileys Autoparts site. When you look up a part they have a tab on that page that will show you what other Cars\Years use that.

Thank you David for your reply.

I've taken a look at the O'Reilly Auto Parts site but they only have SOHC engines. I don't know if that makes alot of difference in my case. But I couldn't find it anyway.

They call it accelerator cable. I can try googling that.

But thanks for your input.

Why don't you just soak the whole cable in some cleaner then soak it in some lube.

I would find the part number and search it on eBay since you aren't in the states.
