you may need to replace the accelerator cable......or try pulling it off and greasing it, but thats just temp if you have broken strands, or the liner in the sheath is wore through

pretty much yea...if you take the cable off throttle bracket...and the bracket is nice and loose and works like it should then its a safe bet the cable is toast....

the grease may or may not work...just depends what is causing the bind....if its broken strands, nothing is going to help......

i just noticed the 6" lift.....is that body or suspension ?
