Throttle cable
I cant seem to figure out how to get the throttle cable off of the Throttle body.Theres alot of Black Soot built up in and around the Body but i cant get the dern thing all the way off to clean it untill i get the cable off.It looks like some kind of "Quick Connect" but i cant pop it off.
Thanks

Throttle cable
If it ain't broke.....change stuff till it is!
On the throttle cable, where it connects to the TB, is it possible to replace the little plastic tube that runs from the throttle body over the outter coating of the wire...while trying to clean the TB i broke part of that (orange) plastic guide off, so it wanted to stick when the cable was pulled. i rigged it with a twist tie to pull in one direction so it works for now. but is it possible to take the old orange guide thingy off and stick a newer one on?
Sorry if u don't know what i mean...it's hard to explain. it's the piece that the spring seats onto between the throttle cable mount ontop of the intake, and the mount on the TB....bah, i don't know how to expalin it!!!
